Did you know that, beyond saving water, faucet aerators save you money on heating the water? For your utility bills, the reduced flow rate really does double duty. Plus, modern screens are easier to clean. Start saving water, energy and money today with a new faucet aerator.
Begin by unscrewing the old faucet aerator from the faucet by turning it counterclockwise.
B. Prepare the surface.
Now, using an old toothbrush and small towel, thoroughly clean and dry the threaded area of the faucet.
C. Install the new aerator.
Your aerator is universal and made to work with both internal and external threads. If your faucet has internal threads, place the two washers that are included with your aerator, inside the aerator. Start with the thinner washer, followed by a thicker washer. If your faucet has external threads, use just the thinner washer.
Now, screw your new aerator by turning clockwise and hand tighten until snug. If you notice leaks after turning on the water, add plumber's tape to the threads of the aerator.
