FAQs

How do I measure my tap for the correct aerator size?

Measure the outer diameter of the screw thread on your tap spout. Compare this measurement to the product specifications or sizing guide provided by the manufacturer to select the correct aerator.

Will this aerator reduce my water pressure noticeably?

The aerator is designed to maintain a comfortable and usable water pressure for everyday tasks while significantly reducing flow rate. Most users find the pressure adequate for washing hands, brushing teeth, and shaving.

How often should I clean the tap aerator?

It is recommended to clean the tap aerator every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you have hard water or notice a decrease in flow. This helps prevent mineral buildup and maintains efficiency.

Can I install this aerator myself?

Yes, installation is typically very simple and does not require special tools or plumbing expertise. It usually involves unscrewing the old aerator and screwing on the new one.

What is the flow rate of this aerator?

This Tap Aerator - Blue has a fixed flow rate of 6 liters per minute (6L/min).

What is the mesh inside the aerator made of?

Troubleshooting

Low water flow or dribbling

Ensure the aerator is not overtightened. Check for debris or sediment inside the aerator and clean as per care instructions. Verify that the correct size aerator was installed and it is compatible with your tap.

Water leakage around the base of the aerator

The aerator may not be securely tightened, or the wrong size may have been used, preventing a proper seal. Try tightening it gently or confirm you have the correct size for your tap's thread.

Aerator does not fit the tap

Double-check the measurements taken from the tap's outer screw thread. It's possible an incorrect size was ordered. Consult the tap manufacturer or a professional if tap threading is non-standard.
