Faucet aerator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A faucet aerator (or tap aereator) is often found at the tip of modern indoor water faucets. Without an aerator, water usually flows out of a faucet as one big stream. An aerator spreads this stream into many little droplets. This helps save water and reduce splashing.
Faucet Aerators are often used in homes with low water pressure in order to increase the perceived water pressure.[1]
A faucet aerator helps to meet U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications[2] by limiting the total flow of water.
