Aerator for faucet:a very practical water saver.

Aerator for faucet:a very practical water saver.

Do you know the faucet aerator? With this water saver your bills will be reduced.

The aerator can be installed on all taps of the house, which allows you to use less water .

How does it work?

The aerator disperses air bubbles in the water, which reduces the flow of liquid by 50%.

And for those who are worried, I reassure you:the foam effect produced by the aerator disappears in a few seconds and it has no effect on the quality of the water.

Aerators are really useful I find, and I don't regret having installed them in my kitchen because the advantages, I see them on my bill!

Savings Achieved

A traditional faucet can discharge nearly 12 liters of water per minute... That's huge when you think about it. With a jet aerator, water saving is quite amazing. It decreases almost by half , since the flow rate is between 6 and 8 liters per minute.

Well, it sure requires a small investment:the basic aerators sell for 10€ each, and you will need maybe 3 or 4 to equip the whole house.

But think that you will quickly recover your expense, with a water bill that is divided by 2 now. Maybe worth it? What do you think?
