you could always put a ball valve on the return line to slow it down but i think slowing down the pump is hard on them ?

Actually, dialing back the pump is not hard on it; at least with the Barracuda. As long as the intake to the pump is unrestricted, the return line can be reduced by a gate valve or ball valve. The manual even states that this will lead to longer pump life.
