THERE IS NUMEROUS WATER RESTRICTOR THAT WILL ATTACH TO FAUCET HEADS FOR BOTH THE LAVATORY AND THE TUB. BUT IF U DONT WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY TRY TURNING THE FAUCET ON HALF WAY. OH U MAY WANT TO TURN THE TEMP. DOWN ON YOUR WATER HEATER.

You may want to check ur pressure relief valve on top of the heater. It has a purge lever, give it a pull and check to see it is draining water. If that valve is not working pressure can build in the tank and the heater could explode. Thats only if you have high or excessive pressure from the hott. If it's both, you can do a test. A home improvement store has a water pressure gauge that will screw into your garden hose. Average pressure is from 60 to 90 psi. No surges over 120 psi. If you have high pressure, you can puchase a regulator from the same home improvement store for about 60$. I recomend you have a plumber install it.

if you have a water vavle on the side marked cold on you water heater, you can close it about half way and your water pressure will be less. if you want the temp to be lower there is a thermostat on the bottom face of the water heater which should be set a 125 degrees or wherever you would like the temp to be.

I dont understand your question. Where does it run to ?
If you are talking about from a faucet - just dont open it so much.
If you are talking about the temp of the water in the heater -
you can adjust the temp to a lower one.

Hardware stores sell a variety of "water savers" that screw on to faucets and shower heads. I have one on my kitchen sink that will allow up to 3 GPM (fixed max rate) and one on my bathroom sink that is adjustable up to 2.75 GPM which is more than enough. The adjustable one has a small lever on the side for adjusting and is more expensive. But 2.75 GPM will splash out of the sink. The fixed rate one is made my MASCo and the adjustable is made by "bubble Stream". good luck.

You have two knobs one for hot and one for cold. You can adjust each for a slow or fast flow.
