FAQs
Is this aerator compatible with all Abode taps?
No, this specific part is designed for the Abode Pico kitchen tap. Please check your model number against the MPN 1263RBLKPIC.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need an adjustable wrench and a soft cloth to protect the tap's finish from scratches during removal and tightening.
How long is the warranty?
This product includes a 12-month guarantee.
Does the black finish peel off?
The finish is designed to be durable, but avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can damage the coating.
Why is the water pressure low after installation?
Check that the aerator is screwed on completely and verify that there is no blockage in the supply line or the aerator screen itself.
Troubleshooting
Water spraying in uneven directions
Unscrew the aerator and check for debris or sediment trapped in the mesh screen. Rinse thoroughly and re-attach.
Leaking from the base of the aerator
Ensure the washer is properly seated and that the aerator has been tightened sufficiently to create a seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the aerator, carefully unscrew the existing nozzle from the tap spout using a wrench with a soft cloth wrapped around the jaws to protect the finish. Once the old aerator is removed, clean the threads on the tap spout to ensure there is no debris. Screw the new TapSparesUK aerator on by hand until it is snug, then give it a final light tightening with the wrench. To maintain performance, soak the aerator in a mild vinegar solution every few months to dissolve any limescale buildup that may naturally occur in hard water areas.
