Honestly, see a doctor about that. Needing to flush twice is not normal.

Ok, I was bored this morning so drilled out the green restrictor disk tiny hole was .060. I drilled it out to .100 thousands, no enough to my liking. Further drilled or out to .160 thousands and that seems to be sweet spot for me. Good flow with a little aeration.

For me, I changed out bathroom faucet when I replaced Accor hoses. Now I have to wait even longer for hot water. The new faucet has flow rate of 1.2 GPM which takes for ever to get hot water even close to water heater.

Also the hose connection different size, 1/2” vs 3/8” (not big deal). I could imagine how long it take to get to furthest faucet. Which I timed over 30 seconds with old delta that flow I guessing twice as much (can’t find spec on old one).

So if plan in replacement look at flow rate if you have to wait for hot water.
