You have a zillion decisions to make around the house. That too, all correct decisions. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. With the power of making decisions, it is also your responsibility to find out what’s best for our house and our family.
You have to keep in mind the same, when it comes to choosing the right bathroom fittings and bathroom accessories. For example, when you are browsing through a range of faucets and fittings, how do you know what’s best in terms of technology along with looks & styles.
There are various kinds of bathroom taps and showers. One of the good decisions to make is to have aerators in the faucets which you choose for your bathrooms. Now, you would wonder what aerators are and what they are useful for. Let us enlighten you, so that your decision is 100% correct.
Aerators come in two varieties. One which can be compatible with showerheads and another which can be compatible with standard faucets of your kitchen and bathroom. These magical things consist of a small screen that breaks the water stream into many smaller streams, thus increasing the diameter of the flow of water. This also introduces air into the water stream, without reducing the water pressure.
So, you must have already presumed some of the benefits of the aerator. Still, there are a few more for us to let you know of.
- Aerators help to reduce the noises that your faucets make, because they increase the air in the water stream which in turn helps to reduce the noise and gurgling in the faucet.
- An aerator expands the diameter of water flow, hence increasing the volume of water that comes out of the faucet. This helps you to accomplish the same task using less water. Thus, you save on your water bills and contribute to water conservation for the planet.
- If your house plumbing has low water pressure, then aerators can help to resolve that problem. How? Aerators come with this mechanism where a higher pressure is built behind the aerators, which creates a steadier water stream.
- Aerators are built with these small screens, which don’t just create smaller streams of water but also work as a filter. The small particles and debris that comes through your water supply, is filtered by the screens and you get cleaner water for your usage.
- The screens in the aerators also help to even out the flow of water so that there are no splashes and irregular dispense of water making the area dirty.
- Aerator installation requires minimum effort and time. It is the easiest and quickest fix to quite a few of your water problems such as low pressure, uneven flow of water, dirty water filtration, etc.
Hope now you are all clear about what aerators are and how they work.
