Of course, by turning the hot water faucet to the direction where the flow of hot water increases, with no specific direction depending on the style of the knob or faucet, but normally the hot water faucet is on the left and hot water flow is left , usual case to make water flow increase is towards the right, but this varies nowadays that there are so much styles of faucets.

Why do you have to turn on two faucets for one to get hot water?
If you have an instantaneous hot water heater, and your faucet doesn't flow enough water it won't turn on the water heater. Thus requiring another faucet to be turned on.
What do you do if you just had a new hot water heater installed and now do not get steady flow of hot water into the tub in the master and all of the other lines flow smoothly?
check the screen on the end of the faucet
Why does only hot water come out of the bath shower with the cold turned on?
First make sure that the hot and cold supply lines (the plumbing) aren't backwards (hot should be on the left as you are facing the faucet) or that someone accidentally ran two hot lines. For the problem to be in the faucet itself you would have to have a single handle faucet. If this is the case the control valve is broken and should be replaced. Three handle Left= Hot Water Flow. Right= Cold Water Flow Center= Controls whether the water comes out the shower head or tub faucet. Two handle Left= Hot Water Flow Right= Cold Water Flow (Diverter Valve is elsewhere if it's a tub/shower) Single handle One handle controls both water pressure and temperature
Why do I have only one water faucet in my house with slow running hot water although the water water is pressure is strong?
Perhaps the filter screen is blocked, which you can clean and replace. This may improve the flow through that faucet.
How do you increase the middle range of temperatures on a faucet when it is difficult to get anything other than very hot or very cold water?
Install a Posi-Temp faucet.
How do you increase the hot water in the shower?
If the water is hot on your other faucets, there may be a safety on the shower faucet. take the handle off and look at the assembly. You may see a plastic sleeve or a plastic rib. try turning it to the left. This stops the hot valve from opening as much which restricts the amount of hot water. turning it to the left will allow more hot water to flow.
Can hot water bleed into the cold water line through a sing handle shower body?
Yes, it can also cross through a two handled faucet. Both the hot and cold sides of the faucet must be on and the flow of water must be stopped or greatly reduced on the outlet side of the faucet. This can occur when a hose with a spray nozzle is attached to a laundry tub faucet with the faucet on and the spray nozzle off, or when a shower faucet is on but the shower spray head is off. When another cold water outlet in the system is turned on then the pressure on the cold side of the laundry tub or shower faucet in question could be lowered below the pressure on the hot side and hot water can flow into the cold water side. There are faucets which have integral check valves which prevent this from occurring. WWW.WOODBRIDGEPLUMBING.COM
Hot water barely comes out of faucet cold water works fine how do i fix?
If shut off the hot water valve then you take off your supply line from your hot water valve to your faucet and then turn your hot water valve on slowly (with of course a bucket or something to collect the water under it) and if you can see you have water pressure and flow then most likely the problem would be in your faucet on the hot side. If you have no pressure or flow when you turn the hot valve on then it could be debris plugging your hot water pipe or your hot water service valve (angle stop, straight stop) which older galvanized pipes are known to do so. To fix the problem you would need to find out where the problem is then either fix or replace the faucet or replace the angle/straight stop or try back flushing the hot water pipe and or replace the pipe with pex or copper pipe.
Why do some have hot water?
Hot water in homes is produced by a device called a water heater. A water heater can be compared to a pot of boiling water. The enclosure keeps water hot throughout the day so that when the faucet is turned on, there will be an immediate flow of hot water. The people who have hot water have invested in a water heater.
Where can you get a non-low flow shower faucet?
There is usually a flow restrictor in the faucet that can be removed. It should be in the center of the faucet where the hot and cold mix. As far as I know the government made it mandatory for manufacturer's to only produce low flow faucet's . Manufacture only, consumers can do what they want with them.
Why does it take 90 seconds to get hot water from tank to faucet?
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.
Why is the water flow in your new bathroom faucet low when you turn on the hot water?
Check the shut-off valve for the hot water side that's under the sink and make sure it's fully open.BECAUSEThe installer did NOT remove the aerator prior to the installation and the flow restrictor is blocked
