An aerator is a plumbing device that is installed on the spouts of water taps and mixers to saturate the water with small air bubbles and mechanically clean it from foreign particles.
The principle of operation of the aerator is to pass water through several meshes with different cell sizes. Thanks to this, the water is saturated with air, feels soft and splashes less when washing dishes. While maintaining washing efficiency, the aerator saves up to 70% of water

The principle of operation of the water-saving nozzle
The faucet aerator is a small attachment that is connected to the faucet.

The following types of materials are used in the production of aerators:
- Metal. Metal models are low cost, but they are short-lived. As a result of regular exposure to water, limescale deposits appear on the mesh, and the surface of such a structure quickly collapses. Aluminum aerators inspire confidence among specialists, but due to long-term use in alternating hot and cold water supply mode, aluminum is tightly connected to the faucet head and becomes part of it. It will not be possible to replace an aluminum water divider after a year of operation, and replacing it every 6 months is unprofitable. An aerator stuck to the faucet head becomes a place where limescale deposits accumulate, and over time the throughput of the device decreases.
- Dividers made of non-ferrous metals and ceramics are distinguished by increased quality characteristics and a long service life. Such models do not stick to the mixer and are easy to install. The disadvantage of such devices is their high price.
- Polymers. Such models of dividers have a long service life and an affordable price. Plastic aerators last no more than 2-3 years, but they do not stick to the faucet head, which makes them easier to replace.
Inside the metal case, which looks like a short tube, there is a plastic module, filters and a silicone (rubber) gasket. The mesh slows down the movement of water flows and saturates them with oxygen. To make the structure airtight, seals are used.
What does a water divider consist of Source mebelex.pro
To connect the divider to the mixer, you need to select a thread. This parameter must be the same in both devices, otherwise it will not be possible to connect the devices into a single structure. A divider with an external thread is connected to a faucet with an internal thread. Most often, such designs are chosen because of their invisibility. The aerator with an internal thread type is connected to the surface of the faucet head. The choice of such a design may determine the interior design of the room or the need to replace the diffuser on an existing tap.
The module consists of meshes that filter water. The first two meshes direct the water flow, trap impurities and particles of pollution, the others are needed to connect water and air. Air enters the divider through small holes located around the perimeter of the device.
Specification
This is a kitchen filter bubbler with water saving applications. 2-position head - by pulling the chrome head, the soft aerosol spray becomes a powerful jet. The thin built-in dirt filter captures sand and dirt particles. To clean, you just need to remove the filter and rinse it under water. This unit creates a champagne effect stream that simultaneously cancels splash in the pool, increasing wetting ability and performance. Well, what can I say - it’s pompous, but it doesn’t contradict reality. Go ahead
Fits all standard taps M22 male and M24 female - gasket included Yes, not only is the gasket included, but there is a spare
1. Save energy: Save 30% water
70% (compared to a standard bubbler) This is where I find it difficult. Maybe there is some kind of savings due to the fact that you can make a jet. But so that 30%, let alone 70... 2. Increase water pressure: Prevent water from leaking, and air mixes with water, good, water feels soft, improved water dynamics, easy to clean. Increasing water pressure with such a device is, of course, a new word in physics. But I won’t dispute that the water feels soft. Suddenly he really feels
