Water jetting out of water feature

Hello Fellow TFP ians,
I recently redid my pool water feature made of artificial rocks. While the new waterfeature looks far better than the original, one thing which I am really not impressed about is that the water coming out of the waterfeature is more like a fountain rather than a waterfall. This is because the plumbing is straight up vertical with its opening facing the sky. (FYI The old water feature had its opening sideways)
I can turn the Jandy valve all the way down to possibly regulate the waterflow, however I clearly remember that the old water feature even at the highest setting never pushed this much water. Is there any way that I can cut down on the pressure like introducing a water pressure regulator somewhere in between the Jandy valve and the water feature ? Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Skambat
 
Welcome to TFP.

Just close the Jandy valve to regulate the water flow out of your water feature.

It sounds like the old horizontal water feature had a natural restriction that reduced the water pressure. Now you have an open vertical pipe that lets the full flow rise up vertically.
