Water Savers

Are you recently noticing some reduction of water flow in your bathroom faucet? Maybe it’s time to install a new aerator or, let’s simply put it as a water saver.

The bathroom skin aerators wear out with time. They also get clogged, specifically if the water supply is of hard type. No matter the blockage, replacing the aerator is a simple and effective solution to the problem. Doing so is as simple as twisting off the old one from the end of the faucet and screwing in a new one. Contrary to installation, buying a water saver or faucet aerator is a tricky task to deal with. And to do so nicely, you need to know the many different types, their uses and effectiveness in your bathroom.

Types of a faucet aerator

Technically speaking, a faucet or tap aerator (water saver) is a small device with a mesh screen. This device is used to conserve energy and water and reduce the amount of water splash as it comes out. One can see these devices at the end of the faucet and allow free water to flow through a mesh screen. As the water flows through it, the screen breaks the stream of water into multiple smaller streams. It also allows the air to combine with water and create a consistent flow of water. There is a long list of classifications of these water-saving aerators. And each of these comes with varying faucet aerator sizes that you may need to consider while making a purchase. Also, different types of faucet aerator designs serve to vary results and flow streams. Let’s discuss a few of our available options.

The stationary and swivel aerators

As the name suggests, each component of the stationary aerator (or water saver) stays still. In a swivel aerator, the components are more elaborate and can force water to flow in different directions. In the meantime, there are many others options with dual-stream functions. Hence the end-users can change the directions of the water stream when and as they wish to. They also come in dual systems by retracting or by pulling the aerator. The swivel faucet aerators are some of the fascinating designs. They are common in modern bathrooms and tap systems.

Bubble stream aerators

These sink faucet aerators (or, simply put, water savers) come with needle spray; just like other aerators, the needle aerators come with features like pressure compensation. It makes them an ideal choice for a residential tap system. It also implied that with these sprays, no one could notice if there is any pressure fluctuation within the water supply system or not. For people who want a lower water flow, bubble or needle stream flow systems are suitable options. It also adds air to the water and enhances the water stream, giving a sensation of heavy flow while dispensing less water. Here the design also helps you get a shower like pattern and can offer good water coverage.

Lead-free dual thread pressure aerators

Many water savers or aerators offer lead-free dual thread pressure compensating sprays. They offer a significant cost saving and are ideal for an application accommodating both female and male taps. They are useful for drinking water directly from the tap. This is because they can provide a consistent water flow regardless of fluctuating pressure in the tap systems. Also, installing a tamper-proof tap aerator can prevent tenants from removing or replacing the faucet aerator for property owners. These types of equipment are common in hotels or restaurants.
