Calibrate faucet valves

Usually max fluid flow is achieve by say just a quarter or a half turn of the knob, opening the rest of the way does nothing. Typically with hot and cold valves opened to max. slowly closing cold to warm it up does nothing until you reach a certain threshold.

Properly calibrated would mean:
1/4 turn of the knob = 1/4 max fluid flow
1/2 turn of the knob = 1/2 max fluid flow
full turn of the knob = full max fluid flow

This will also give you more fine tuned control over the flow.
