Re: New water pump puts out too much flow for sink.
Since you already have the pump you might as well use the pump you have.
Using a resistor will require a very large power resistor. And it will make heat. You could try a 12V light fixture as a resistor, with the benefit of the light telling you the pump is on (might not be a good idea in the middle of the night).
Or, put in a flow restrictor to reduce the amount of water delivered. It could be as simple as plug in the pump outlet with a small hole drilled in it. The water line has about a 1/2" ID, a plug with a 1/8" hole drilled through it will reduce the flow by a factor of 16. If the flow is too low, you can always keep drilling the hole larger until you get an acceptable flow rate.
