Too much water pressure!!!!

[mdrandall]

It may sound a bit strange but I have too much water pressure.......

The house has a full mains pressure system which is great for showers etc. However the sinks cause problems, particularly the downstairs w.c. There are 2 mini single lever Bristan taps and a small sink. Unfortunately the pressure is such that most of our visitors get a nice soaking as they are not aware of the tap pressure.

The taps have screw-in nozzles and someone suggested blocking half of the holes. I reckon this will make it worse as there will be less volume but higher pressure.

There are no adjacent in-line shut-off valves which can be partially closed.

Ideally I would like some sort of limiting device on the tap but Bristan say none is available. If possible I would also not wish to cut into the pipework etc so I wondered if there was an in-line valve such as those used to connect water filters which could be used to partially shut off the supply.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

You can buy flow limiting valves in levels to suit different outlets. Just need to be fitted in the pipe same as any other valve.

If you have to cut the pipe this is the cheapest way
Fit a ballofix valve on each tap and turn isolator to reduce flow to suit to each tap

Thanks guys, that's more or less what I thought. I hoped someone had a self-cutting saddle type valve, but I think I will have to cut the pipe.
