I’ve been wracking my brain about how best to deal with the issue on the modem, and decided leave the route just the way it is. What I did do was figure out a very effective way of limiting flow to low-demand devices.

This happens to be a natural gas jet for a range. I had a few sitting around from a conversion. They fit perfectly into 1/4 inch lines and reduce the flow dramatically. Before the change water was flowing at about 6-7 feet per second. Now it’s about 1 foot per second but still plenty for cooling the unit’s large heat sink. The gas jet has an orifice size of 1 mm and the hose is 7mm. The head diameter is exactly 7mm.
