recently picked up an aquatop maxflow 2300. box states it has adjustable flow. i can’t for the life of me figure out how to reduce the flow, there’s no levers or switches or anything. help?

I'd if were you I'd just throw a ball valve on it to make it simple if you can't find out how to do the adjusting .
 
Although it says adjustable flow. I do not think it is unless it has a fitting that screws onto the output. If you look at the amazon site, at the other aquatop models at the bottom you see they have either a adjustment screw or a dial to restrict incoming flow ( not good). You can also read the reviews.
 
If you pop the screen end off, there’s probably some kind of dial that restricts suction. If not, then you’d use the small included valve I’d imagine.
