With concerns about dwindling water resources and rising utility bills, homeowners are seeking ways to reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance. One simple and effective solution is upgrading your faucets with aerators. These innovative devices attach to the end of your faucet spout and regulate water flow, promoting water savings while maintaining optimal pressure. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the installation process and explore Danco’s best-recommended aerators and faucet parts to help you achieve maximum efficiency in your home. Why Choose Faucet Aerators? A faucet aerator is designed to mix air into the water stream, creating a steady, aerated flow that feels just as powerful as traditional streams but uses less water. By adding air to the water, aerators reduce splashing and help prevent water wastage, making them an ideal solution for both residential and commercial applications. Additionally, aerators can help prevent pipe corrosion and reduce noise associated with water flow. Installation Guide: 1. Remove Old Aerator: Begin by turning off the faucet and placing a towel over the drain to catch any small parts that may fall. Using the Danco Aerator Removal Key, match the aerator to the appropriate latch on the tool and turn counterclockwise to remove it. This multi-use tool is designed for easy and non-abrasive removal of aerators without scratching or damaging the faucet housing. This aerator removal tool is available at the Home Depot, Lowe’s, & Amazon. 2. Clean the Threads: Once the old aerator is removed, use a soft brush or toothbrush to clean any debris or mineral deposits from the threads on the faucet spout. This will ensure a proper seal and smooth installation of the new aerator. 3. Choose the Right Aerator: At Danco, we offer a range of aerators to suit different preferences and needs. Two of their best-recommended options for kitchen sink faucets include the 1.0 GPM and 1.5 GPM Water-Saving Aerators.

Install New Aerator: Screw the new aerator onto the faucet spout in a clockwise direction, ensuring a snug fit. Use your hand to tighten it, being careful not to over-tighten, as this could damage the aerator or faucet threads. 5. Test and Adjust: Once the new aerator is installed, turn on the faucet to check for any leaks and ensure proper water flow. Use the twisting spray pattern or laminar stream feature, if applicable, to adjust the water flow to your liking. 6.
