Water pressure too high in coop

It seems like my water pressure is too high in my coop. Just moved in and noticed the faucets were strong but OK. But when I took a shower for the first time, the water actually deflected outside the shower because it's too much pressure. Something easily changeable unit by unit? Will I need to add restrictors in each faucet? Just want to know what the truth is before I talk to the super. Thanks.

It's pretty easy to change. You can go under your sink or behind your toilet and find two valves. One is for hot water and one is for cold. If you adjust the pressure too low, your sink pressure will drop too and the toilet will probably take longer to fill as well.

Don't touch valves ... Just get a different showerhead.

Haha yea i just got an insert. The pressure is high because the previous owner redid the bathroom and remived any and all regulator in the faucets, etc. Thanks guys.

Too much water pressure?

I'll bet your maintenance is too low, too.

Never too much water pressure for me.
Ever go to Gurney's Inn , or any other spa with a Roman Bath?

I sit right under the water-falling. Delightful!
