DEFINITELY meets notability requirements. My problem (as a novice amateur plumber) is that article needs expaning.

A Miracle!

The little thing is quite amazing. It actually keeps water from splashing all over the place. Take it out and see how badly a faucet works. Who invented it? How did it come into being? Was it ivented with the faucet or did it predate faucets and come from some source of industry? I noticed that hand pumps don't have them. Not surprising since they are intricately made and if clogged or damaged, will not work properly. Interesting.Longinus876 (talk) 15:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uses less water?

I find that not having an aerator on a bathroom faucet, for me, results in faster hand washing time, hence less water used. I don't "feel" as if I'm getting enough water when I'm washing using a faucet with an aerator. (Granted the quality of the soap has a bit to do with this, but we'll ignore this variable for this topic.) Jarod (talk) 15:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Codes like M28x1

The article presently mentions several cryptic symbols such as M28x1. If they add knowledge to the article, they should be explained for the lay person. If they do not, I think they should be removed. I don't know enough on the topic to make the edit or I would. 68.110.104.114 (talk) 16:09, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reducing Faucet Noise

I don't believe that an aerator reduces faucet noise. In my experience between having one on, and not having one on - the stream sounds quieter without the aerator. Jarod (talk) 14:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
