Faucet Aerator Kitchen Sink Replacement Parts With Brass Shell 15/16-Inch Male Threads Filter With Gasket for Kitchen Bathroom - 4 Pack

So cheap and easy. Fits most faucets and is an essential plumbing piece for any toolbox.

Worked out great to replace on 2 sinks. The drip’s stopped. I will update this review if something changes because I just installed them today so we have to give it the overnight test to see if we have any drips.

THEY DO THE JOB.

It was easy to install, everything worked well and did create nice aeration. Matched with our sink! I also enjoyed having multiple so I don't have to clean them, just install a new one :)

> Each is a two-part unit -- an outer shell (with the threads which screw into your faucet), and an insert (which is actually the aerator).> The threads on the outer shells seemed to be just a little small for my Moen kitchen faucet, maybe 1mm too small --- they would not screw in. However, a new insert (from this set) fitted into my old shell perfectly.> As another reviewer noted, the rubber washers seemed to be just a little too large---but my old washer worked well.> With a new insert (from this set) in my old shell and old rubber washer, my faucet is working properly again.> I probably could have purchased just single insert at a local hardware store for less than $1 -- but, the new insert in my old shell works fine, so I'm not complaining.> Note that if your old aerator is just clogged with calcium, you can probably dissolve most of the calcium by soaking the aerator in vinegar. Take your old aerator out of the shell, and immerse the aerator (and the shell, if you want) in the vinegar, perhaps in a small jar or drinking glass. Takes a while --- a few hours or overnight. You can carefully scrub the surface with a soft brush. Warm (not hot) vinegar works quicker than room temperature vinegar. But, installing a new aerator insert is quicker and easier. This also works for showerheads, etc blocked by calcium deposits which do not have aerators.> The water pressure depends on the strength of the flow restrictor of the insert. Low restriction may cause the flow to be splashy. High restriction creates a flow which is more "airy", full of bubbles, which (surprisingly, at least to me) is more effective in washing the soap off your hands, etc. The inserts are color coded according to how much resistance they give. Google "sink faucet aerator color codes:.

They fit and they are cheap and the performance matches the price. The flow is not the regulated, consistent, smooth flow of OEM parts. They are much cheaper and perform like it. If you're a cheap landlord who just wants something, this is your stuff. If you like quality equipment in your home, look elsewhere.

My old faucet head just wouldn't work even after I cleaned it. It was spurting water everywhere. I installed this and the difference was immediate and fantastic. Lots more water came out in a straight and steady stream. Easy to install and it WORKS. So glad I bought this and wish I had bought it a lot earlier.

So I had an aerator that was just really nasty and gunky to the point where the water was not coming out at all, and trying to clean it wasn't doing anything. I replaced that one as well as two others in my home, and there is a marked difference between before and after. It even seems like it takes less time for the hot water to start flowing maybe because the water is actually FLOWING faster. It's cheap, it arrived quickly and it does what I need it to do, so five stars from me. They were very easy to install very easy to tighten, there are no leaks and the water is flowing. And they're cheap enough or even if it does get gunky again I don't need to go through the hassle trying to clean it, I can just replace it.
