Aerator for Kitchen, Bathroom Faucet, 2 Function Swivel Sprayer, Water Saving Flow 1.5 GMP, Polished Chrome, Black

Bought this to finish off a new kitchen tap I recently installed. I've always used them in the kitchen and thought this would be just a simple installation but soon discovered there's a design flaw with this one. There's inside and outside threads for both male and female application but be careful if, like me, you use it for male into female. The first time I tried it with the smaller of the two washers (supplied) it leaked and so was able to back it off and try it with the thicker one. This time after noticing a small drip still coming from the threads I tried tightening it. Long story short...the threads have become recessed into the female end of the faucet and it's now impossible to back it off as there's nothing to bite onto with any type of wrench...normally there's two small divots in the aerator to put an aerator wrench on for exactly this purpose but much to my dismay I discovered too late that this one was designed without the ability to remove it once it's installed if the end of your faucet has internal threads....

Good, it works, unlike the Ecostar one I bought before which was rubbish and is now just kept for spares. My only issue is that it may save water, partly due to the aerating effect but also partly because it reduces the flow - there is a very small hole in the inlet side, looks to me about 2mm. However, it is enough here as we have pretty good pressure, but if your pressure is low the flow may not be enough.

I've given up trying to find a reliable one of these, I've bought a few now and they all break after a few weeks :( Moving between spray and stream is too stiff and I end up pulling the end of it out of the ball joint type fitting :( Would not recommend.

Poor pressure and the thread is both tiny and rough so it does not screw easily. After a while i found out this was actually a (not so) cheap copy of a different product and got the other one - and the difference is amazing, both in set up and pressure.

This is a really good water saver. It flows much less and still more than enough for washing dishes.

Difficult to attach and leaks. Have to use plumbers tape. Disappinted but it is inexpensive.

use less
