My splashy taps!

Folks , I have a pressurised water system, my own well and a booster pump in the closet, as the Taps are spread out around the house. The hot flow in the kitchen splatters the place as it seems to come out too fast and hard, it comes through the centre of the spout, the cold is fine, it comes around that. Same in my ensure. Can this be fixed without changing the taps?

A valve under the sink that you can reduce flow would be the simplest, it would still give the initial splash but then reduce, or you could buy a pressure reducing valve.

Thanks Billy. I'm thinking that'll do for the bathroom , but the one in the kitchen is already slow to fill the sink... What do I ask for when buying a new tap?

You could try a diffuser/aerator if your tap can accept one.
