Home Improvement Asked by Jon Lund Steffensen on November 6, 2020
When I turn this bathroom faucet on and off, the water flow is somewhat irregular so I tried looking at the aerator to see if it needs cleaning:
What kind of aerator is this and how do I remove it?
It doesn’t look like any of the aerators that I can find by searching the web. I’m not sure what manufacturer made this faucet as it has no labels on it. I tried to put a screwdriver in there and turning but was not able to make it move. Do I need a tool specifically for this aerator?
Viewed from above:
I'm still not sure what kind of aerator this is but I was able to remove it.
After keeping the tip of the faucet soaked in a small bag of vinegar for a couple of hours, I was able to turn the aerator with a screwdriver but it didn't really feel like it was coming out. The plastic was also brittle and started breaking apart when I tried turning it, so eventually it came out when it broke apart. It looks like this is simply a plug since there appears to be no threading in the faucet.
I'm going to have to see if I can find some kind of replacement for this that will fit in an unthreaded faucet.
