Reducing DC Water Pump Flow?

First trip on DC in our truck camper. No problems! My question is: Has anyone modified their electric potable water pump to reduce the flow rate? Either by physical flow restriction or electrical means… Our's is just pushing out way more water than we need to wash dishes, and I am willing to wait a few more seconds to fill a glass for drinking.
By the way, our VMaxTanks 125 Amp-Hour AGM battery ran like a champ!
  • There are restrictive inserts. Maybe something like that is available besides the obvious inline valve.
  • This is the faucet. It has a simple on/off switch for pump mode. Anyone experience the same deluge and successfully restricted it?
  • I am tinking I D ten T error.
    Should be an easy fix...or maybe not?
  • problem is with faucet, not pump. what would be the remedy if you were in your house? JMHO
  • This is kind of funny considering we have the opposite issue! :) Most waterpumps have an adjustment but it varies. You need to lookup the actual brand/model you have.

    Don't open the tap as far. Doesn't cost anything and no changes required.
