Faucet Aerator's

A faucet aerator might seem like a small, unimportant part of your plumbing, but it plays a big role in how efficiently your faucet works. Found at the tip of the faucet, an aerator usually has a screen that breaks up the water stream into tiny droplets. Here’s why this little device matters:

1. Water Conservation
   The main job of a faucet aerator is to save water. By mixing air with the water, it lowers the flow rate without making the pressure feel weak. This means you use less water, which is great for the environment and your wallet.

2. Better Water Pressure
   Even though it reduces water flow, an aerator can make the water pressure feel stronger. The air in the stream creates a steady, forceful flow that feels more powerful, especially in areas with low water pressure.

3. Splash Reduction
   Aerators help control the water flow, cutting down on splashing. This is handy for keeping your sink area clean and preventing water damage over time.

4. Filtration and Protection
   Some aerators also catch debris and sediment, helping to keep your faucet and plumbing free of clogs and making maintenance easier.

In short, faucet aerators are small but mighty devices that conserve water, improve pressure, reduce splashes, and protect your plumbing. If you have any questions or need service, please call Ken's Sewer Service.
