Einleitung

A perlator, also known as an aerator or flow regulator, is a small device located at the end of a faucet spout that mixes air with the water flow to reduce splashing and save water.

Over time, the perlator can become clogged with mineral deposits or debris, which can cause reduced water flow or uneven water distribution. This can be frustrating and can also increase water usage and costs.

Replacing a perlator is a relatively simple process that can help restore proper water flow and improve the efficiency of your faucet. It involves unscrewing the existing perlator from the end of the faucet spout and replacing it with a new one that is compatible with the faucet model.

In addition to improving water flow and efficiency, replacing a perlator can also improve the quality and taste of your water by removing any accumulated impurities or contaminants.

    • Loosen the perlator using some water pump pliers or an appropriate sized wrench.

    • Use some folded up paper shop towel to prevent the pliers scratching up the perlator, if you want to reuse it.

    • Unscrew and remove the perlator by hand.

    • If you screw it on again just doing it finger tight will be alright, but you can also tighten it with the trick from step one.

    • Measure the outer diameter of the tread.

    • Common sizes would be M18, M20, M22, M24 and M28, with M24 being the most common of the bunch.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
