Review on 5-Piece Faucet Aerator Set - Water Tap Insert Aerators for Bathroom or Kitchen Faucet, Flow Restrictor Replacement Parts, 1.2GPM, 16.5mm/0.65-Inch by Alex Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect replacement

A few years ago I remodeled a bathroom and used Lowe AquaSource faucets which looked exactly like the Delta faucets I chose but were half the price. I soon found that the aerators in the AquaSource faucets tended to clog for about 6 months at which point the flow dropped significantly. At first I was able to get them from the manufacturer, but they only ever sent me one at a time, which meant I had to call them frequently for a different one. In the end they informed me that they no longer sell this part. So I went to the local plumbing store where they were selling for $7.35 each. AquaSource informed me that despite the lifetime warranty they are unable to supply the part, effectively rendering the warranty worthless. They then said they would refund my money if I took the faucets back to Lowe, but then I would have to pay a plumber to remove and install new ones. After finding them, I decided to take a chance and buy three packs of faucets. She. Luckily they fit and work perfectly. The water flow seems really much better. It's frustrating that installation requires a special wrench (included) and you can't see what you're doing during installation. Otherwise there are no complaints. Certainly better than $7.35 each at a plumbing store. And you will get 5 wrenches with each set of 5 aerators.
