Why does touchless water faucet only work when other faucet turned on?
It's possible that the solenoid valve in the touchless faucet is not functioning properly, and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there is a loose or broken wire in the electrical circuit that powers the solenoid valve. You may want to check the connections and wiring, and consult a plumber or electrician if necessary, to help diagnose and repair the issue.

1hp pump. Why does it start and run 5 seconds then shut off?
Does this unit have a pressure switch? A lot of pressure switches have an adjustable cut-in / cut-out allowing you to change the nominal operating pressure. If it is only running a short time, you could adjust the pressure switch and see if it helps. **With the power off** make small adjustments, don't crank it.
Fixing a tub faucet reverser
There is usually a rubber gasket inside the spout/spigot - this is called the diverter. This gasket can wear out or crack over time. Sometimes you can fix or clean just the rubber gasket, but most times it is easier and quicker to replace the whole spout/diverter. They are usually screwed on and will have teflon tape to seal the NPT pipe threads. Easy fix.
