Homeowner Maintenance, Aerator Cleaning

Cleaning Aerator

Hi Everybody, Blake here from Fieldstone Homes.

Today we are going to go over another homeowner maintenance tip which would be your faucets and aerator.  Most homeowners don’t realize that they lose water pressure over a period of time by running the water through the aerator.  Debris collects in the line which cause the aerator to clog from debris.

Now, an aerator if you do not know, is the actual piece where the water comes out.  Let me show you what can collect in the aerator.  In order to maintain the aerator, you may want to check each of your faucets once a year, that will help keep the pressure up and water flowing.  You simply need to unscrew the aerator from the faucet, rise it out, and screw it back in place.

You should now be good to go for another year.
