Aerators
Aerators
are inexpensive devices that:
- Reduce water consumption
- Offer substantial savings on your water bill
How do they work?
- These fixtures mix air into the water stream while maintaining a steady water pressure so that the water flow maintains an even, full spray
Show me the saving.
- Standard faucets are equipped with aerators rated at 5.68 L/min (1.5 gallons)
- Without altering performance, you can replace standard aerators with a more efficient one which expels 3.79L/min (1.001 gallons)
