Plumbing

As a homeowner concerned about sustainability and comfort in your home, you know how important it is to have plumbing in good condition. Among the simple but often overlooked tasks, cleaning your faucet aerators plays a crucial role in preserving water quality, limiting nuisances, and protecting your fixtures.

 

Why clean your faucet aerators?

Aerators, those small attachments screwed onto the end of your faucets, are designed to mix water with air. They reduce your consumption without compromising flow and filter out debris. Over time, limescale, sediment, and micro-debris accumulate, reducing their effectiveness. A dirty aerator:

• Reduces flow and increases the time needed to fill a container.

• Risks spraying irregular droplets, splashing your countertop.

• May cause premature wear of the seal or internal mechanism of the faucet.

Recommended frequency

To ensure optimal flow and impurity-free water:

• Light cleaning every 3 months

• Thorough maintenance once a year

The consequences of neglect

Ignoring the maintenance of your aerators can lead to:

• Premature wear of the internal mechanism of the tap, causing leaks.

• Degradation of water quality, allowing particles and debris to pass through.

• Risk of corrosion if calcium deposits become too significant.
