I'll have to try that reverse polarity trick.  I have the same problem.  In
most cases I use a big plastic cup to catch the water from the super power
faucet, then dispense it from the cup.  Kinda defeats the purpose of the
nice faucet...

Hmm, how about a switch that selects which polarity goes to the pump.  lots
of water or less water...
