Is your bathroom faucet’s stream not quite right? Removing the aerator could be the solution. Aerators help prevent splashing and make tasks like washing dishes easier by creating a steady stream of water. However, they can also accumulate build-up and reduce water pressure over time.
Aerators were invented to mimic the bubbly and foamy water from waterfalls, which tastes better due to the air and water combination. While aerators are useful, they are not essential. If you decide to remove the aerator from your faucet, there are ways to do it safely and efficiently.
How to remove a faucet aerator
One way to remove an aerator is by using a flat-head screwdriver to unlock it. However, this method can be tricky and potentially dangerous. A safer option is to use a specialized tool like the Danco Cache Faucet Aerator Key Removal Tool, which can be found online or at your local hardware store.
