Low Water Pressure
As John said, the problem can be fixed with a change of regulator
and inlet connection.
Here is a link to the photos of my change.

As far as the AquaHot is concerned, there is a tempering valve on
the AquaHot that can be adjusted if needed. By turning down the
amount of cold mixed with the hot, the water will maintain a proper
temperature.
