My Dad likes to open valves all the way minus half a turn.

The slow water flow may well be account of a restrictor.
Some busy body decided that we should all live with low flow
facuets, toilets, etc. The net result is you have to flush
twice. And wait three times as long to fill the pot,
compared to before. Supposedly, if it takes 20 minutes to
fill your stew pot instead of four minutes, we're some how
saving water.

I'd reccomend to unscrew the aerator, and see if the water
is forced through a small hole. Think cordless drill, and
drill bit. Enlarge the small hole.

I don't claim this to be correct practice.

However, I never leave an angle stop "fully on." I always
leave a
valve at least half a turn short of fully on. It might be a
year or
more before I need to turn it, and I might need to work it
back and
forth a bit to get it to move. So I like it short of all
the way, to
give me both directions to move.

I don't know if this is right or wrong but it works for me.
