Installing water-saving aerators on your faucets is incredibly easy and with them you can save around 25 to 40 percent on the hot and cold water running out of each faucet you aerate.
How does it work? Aerators restrict the flow of water, compressing it into a higher-pressure discharge than regular faucets. They also introduce air bubbles into the water, making it feel like there is a larger water flow. They reduce water flow by about 50 percent or more.
Periodically clean out the screen and flow restrictor in your aerator. The more gunk in your pipes, the more often you will need to clean the aerator. Try a toothpick on the stubborn grit in the flow restrictor.
Aerators are one of those things your water department may be giving away to get its customers to conserve water. So not only are aerators easy to install, they may be free, too.
