It's easy to replace the aerator on your kitchen faucet. You don't need special tools or skills. This job is a simple process that you can complete in 5 minutes or less by yourself.
Instructions
1. Use your pliers to remove the aerator. The aerator is located on the end of the faucet.
2. Turn your pliers clockwise to loosen the aerator. Use your hand to finish removing it.
3. Push on the screened end of the aerator where the water comes out of the faucet. The screened aerator and a rubber washer will come out of the metal ring.
4. Put the new aerator into the metal ring. Make sure that the flat, screened portion is facing out. Place the rubber washer on the end of the aerator that connects to the faucet.
5. Connect the aerator back to the end of the faucet. Turn it counterclockwise to tighten.
Tips Warnings
Place a small rag on the end of the aerator between it and your wrench to avoid scratching the finish. Take your old aerator off of the faucet before you go to purchase a new one. Take the old aerator with you. This will help you to be sure you're getting one that will fit your faucet.
