Everything Homeowners Should Know About Faucet Aerators
If you’ve watched your plumber fiddle with your faucet to fix any problems caused by hard water, it’s possible that you’ve seen a small component with a metal screen disk. This component is known as a faucet aerator, and it is important since it benefits your faucet as well as your finances. With that in mind, we’re going to take an in-depth look at faucet aerators.
Here’s everything you need to know about faucet aerators.
What Do Faucet Aerators Do?
Believe it or not, for a component so small as a faucet aerator, it offers numerous advantages to your home. In fact, aerators can actually help you save a significant amount of water and money at the same time. This is because they tend to reduce the water flow to your faucet while widening the stream of water at the same time, allowing homeowners such as yourself to use less water without having to sacrifice comfort in the process. This in turn could translate into large water bill savings on a monthly basis.
How to Clean Faucet Aerators
Like every fixture in your home, faucet aerators could become clogged with dirt over time. Once this happens, the freshness of the water it provides could be significantly reduced. Luckily, cleaning a faucet aerator is simple, and you can even do it on your own. To do so, simply close the sink stopper to avoid losing parts, and remove the aerator before placing it on a clean towel. If possible, take the aerator apart, and soak it in vinegar for an hour.
Once the hour has passed, remove the vinegar, and rinse it with water before replacing the aerator into your faucet. Once you’ve done so, the aerator should be as clean as possible, allowing it to maintain your water’s freshness.

Our Testimonials
We live a considerable distance away from the city where Rain Soft is located but have never had any problems with the system itself. We were proud to recommend it to our son when he brought the place from us. He has no problems as of this date. Thank you for your service!
Rainsoft is a great product that comes with great service. We feel it was an investment, but we feel it was worth it. We have the Ultrefiner Drinking Water System that we use for all of of water bottles on the go - they stay clean - no yellow or pink film…. The Water Conditioning System is efficient and we used about 6 bags of salt in the last year - active family of 2 with family stopping in. Would highly recommend Rainsoft.
We have been with Rain soft since 1999. We recently purchased a new softener and decided to stay with Rain soft because of their excellent service and quality of product. We have had the reverse osmosis system since the beginning and have also added the chlorine removal tank. We enjoy having the quality water that our system provides us with. Thanks to rain soft. Brent and Carla Whitlock.
Will make this short. Had some problem with our water softener. Had water on the floor. It would make all kinds of noise and the our water softness was inconsistent. Lucas came and took the time to fix it right! Our water softener has never worked this well. Be sure to let Lucas know much we appreciated his work!!
RainSoft has delivered excellent service and products since we installed a whole house water system more than 20 years ago. We recently replaced our refrigerator and RainSoft came the next day to connect the new water line for our ice/water. Prompt and friendly service!
Blake was awesome and the warranty on the products is very good. Blake took the time to replace all potential problem parts in the system at no additional charge. Living in the country with well water is hard on the system but I don’t know what I would do without it. Blake also had some extra bags of salt on hand to save us a trip. Very professional and obviously took pride in doing things right!
