You do not turn the nob all the way on, just turn it slightly. You can regulate the pressure and volume manually as suggested above, or you can also go to your local hardware store and ask for a water pressure regulator (sometimes called a pressure reducer). They should be able to help you or direct you to a Plumbing supply.

How do you get outside hydrants to provide water without running a faucet in house to reduce pressure in tank and turn on the well pump?
Reset the pressure switch to energize (close) at a higher pressure. I would increase it 10# for starters.Ans 2 - That won't do it. The only way is to feed the outside hydrants from the pressure tank.
Why is water not coming from outside faucet?
Seperate valve for outside faucet turned off, broken valve stem inside of outside faucet or handle stripped at faucet.
How do find how much pressure is coming from a pipe?
The only way you can find accurate pressure in a pipe is by mechanical means. If you want to know the pressure in your home just go to a hardware and by a pressure gauge with a hose adapter and screw it to your outside faucet and that will give you the pressure of your water at that elevation of your out side faucet. The higher the elevation of the water line = the less pressure.
What would cause low water pressure in a bathtub faucet?
The faucet is clogged
What is the meaning of all of a sudden low water pressure coming out of faucet?
well if you have a plugged aerator or your water line is corroded then that is usually the reason a faucet has low pressure if its just one faucet.
Why would a outside water faucet loose all water pressure and when turned on no water comes out?
Supply line clogged. The end of the stem where the washer is may have broken off so that the faucet isn't really opening. Shut the water off and take the stem out of the faucet and see what it looks like.
Why would you not have water at the kitchen or bathroom sinks but have good pressure in the bathtubs and outside?
Most likely your bath and kitchen faucets have aerators. whereas your bathtub and outside faucet do not. In areas of hard water, minerals and sand build up in the aerators and need to be cleaned or replaced. Also the aerators could be water savers and will reduce flow as well. Hope this helps.
Can too high water pressure turn the faucet on?
no
How do you increase the water pressure to a house's outside faucet to increase water pressure to a sprinkler system through a hose?
My parents went through this when they moved into there house. It is an older house. They ended having a plummer replace some and clean out the pipes. There was alot of calcium and mineral build up inside the lines. If it is just this outside faucet maybe you could just replace this pipe with new one. The faucet itself could be clogged. Good luck.
Why would you lose water pressure only on the kitchen faucet which is directly behind the wall to the tub and toilet and bathroom sink if they are fine?
The problem could be as simple as a clogged screen in your faucet. It also may be a low flow gasket which is in the faucet to reduce water usage. Has this alwys been a problem or is it a new problem?
Can a faucet turn itself on because of pressure in the pipelines?
No. It takes much more than water pressure to turn on the water faucet. At most, there is a leak if anything at all.
How does water travel up into a faucet?
It is pushed by the water pressure in the system.
