Unscrew the pop-up cable connector from the drain tail-piece and rotate the screw on the side 180 degrees. Reattach the cable adapter.

Hi Tom. Get a set of allen wrenches, insert one after another into the hole until one catches on that allen screw. You could also get a small mirror and a flashlight and look into the hole. I can assure you that there is an allen screw in there. It is just a matter of finding the correct allen wrench and getting it seated into the allen screw.

try reversing your hot and cold lines

Tub spout threads onto end of pipe. The diverter does not play a role.

Sometimes these things get rusted in place, and you have to bend them getting it off.
When all else fails, get a big pipe wrench and muscle it until it bends up and comes off.
Sounds like you might need a new tub spout ... and might need a new pipe ... be sure to match length of pipe to depth of threads on new spout.

You can download White manuals from Singer. Just go to http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html and type W in the search box. The next page will be a list of White machines with manuals available. They may not have the exact model (as in my case), but there will be a similar one.

I had the same problem and contacted American Standard. They had me email them pictures of the problem and sent me a new faucet free of charge.

Is intake clogged? sounds like impeller has come loose from pump if not.Take a garden hose and feed water back from a jet(closing/plugging others) to see if it flows back out intake checking for obstuctions. Are jets all the way open and water level well above intake?

Replacing the spray diverter or faucet cartridge ( depending on your model) will fix the problem. Call American Standard and ask for free replacement parts.

Remove the spray head and point the hose into the sink drain. Turn the faucet on. If you have good pressure, cal American Standard for a free replacement spray head.
If you still have low water pressure without the spray head, ask them for a new faucet cartridge.
After replacing the faucet cartridge, if you still have low water pressure you will need to ask for a new faucet, possibly free if yours is still under warranty.

The handle adapters can be tightened by turning them clockwise and loosened by turning them counterclockwise. If the faucet manifold may need to be lined up parallel behind the wall and moved forward as well. Here is the parts breakdown for your faucet,

There is an adapter from the faucet stem to the handle. A small gray plastic faucet part that frequently causes problems for many owners. You will need to call American Standard and ask for a new handle stem connector. The faucet came with a limited lifetime warranty and the part should be free. While you are getting one, you might as well get another for the other handle. American Standard's phone number is 1-800-442-1902.
