A faucet aerator is the small, round piece screwed onto the tip of your faucet that controls water flow and reduces splashing. Most bathroom faucets have aerators.
đź’ˇFilterbaby fits 99% of faucets with a round aerator tip!
Most Common Types of Aerators:
-
Cache/Hidden Aerators: Recessed inside the faucet tip. You'll need the special removal key that is included in your Filterbaby Faucet Filter kit.
-
Standard Aerators: Visible on the outside of the faucet tip. These are usually removable by hand, but you may need a wrench.
But does my faucet have a round aerator?
Likely, yes! Look at your faucet tip. If you have a round circular piece at the tip where the water comes out, it is the aerator. If water comes out in a steady, controlled stream (not a harsh spray), you likely have an aerator.
Incompatible Faucet Types:
-
Rectangular or square aerators
-
Waterfall/spout style faucets
-
Pull-out hose faucets (kitchen faucets)
-
Sensor faucets
-
Faucets with no aerator at all
