How to Install the Faucet Aerator Screen: A Step-by-Step Guide

To ensure water quality, faucet outlets generally need to install aerators. Here is a detailed guide on how to install a faucet outlet aerator.

How to Install a Faucet Outlet Aerator

1. If you are installing an aerator with an outer diameter of 22mm, you should first remove the existing aerator from the faucet. Next, confirm that the thread size at the faucet outlet is also 22mm; if the outer diameter of the threads is only 21.5mm, it is generally acceptable to use it. Then, unscrew the black converter from the aerator and directly fit it onto the faucet outlet.

2. If you are installing an aerator with an inner diameter of 24mm, you should first remove the existing aerator from the faucet. Next, confirm that the thread size at the faucet outlet is also 24mm; if the outer diameter of the threads is only 23.6mm, it can also generally be used. After that, simply fit the aerator along with the black converter into the faucet outlet.

3. There are many types and specifications of faucets on the market, and different specifications will require different aerators. However, most commonly used aerators can be directly fitted without any hassle, and they are not expensive. If possible, consider purchasing a few extras for future needs.

4. If a faucet is used for a long time, the aerator may accumulate a lot of dirt, which can reduce the water flow. In severe cases, it may lead to the faucet not delivering water at all. At this point, the aerator needs to be removed for cleaning. If it cannot be cleaned adequately, it should be replaced with a new one.

5. If users do not replace the aerator in a timely manner, it may cause the faucet's water flow to stop entirely. In severe cases, it could result in the faucet being damaged, causing water to spray everywhere. To avoid these issues, it is recommended to regularly replace the aerator with a new one.

This is a detailed introduction on how to install a faucet outlet aerator. I hope it can help you. The aerator located at the faucet outlet can initially filter out calcium carbonate, impurities, and other contaminants from the water, improving the quality of the water and allowing users to enjoy healthier drinking water.
