Faucet Aerators

Faucet aerators do exactly what their name suggests; they add air to the water stream. This decreases splashing and the overall amount of water used. Aerators are ideally placed on employee hand washing sinks, since there is enough splashing that goes on when someone washes their hands. Aerators are probably not suggested on warewashing or other faucets that are used to fill up bowls or pitchers, because the lower flow rate will increase the amount of time a basin fills.
