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.

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