Saving water resources is what each of us should do in our daily lives. In addition to paying attention to behavioral measures, hardware facilities must also keep up, such as faucet bubblers. So what a faucet aerator is ? Does it have any effect ?

1. What Is A Faucet Aerator?

The principle of the bubbler is actually very simple, that is, it can fully mix the flowing water and air, so that the water flow has a foaming effect. With the addition of air, the scouring power of the water is greatly improved, thereby effectively reducing water consumption and saving money. Use water. Generally, the water flow of high-end faucets is as soft and comfortable as mist, and it can also filter impurities in the water without splashing around.

2. The Function of Faucet Bubbler

1. Save water

The bubbler can fully mix the flowing water and air to form a foaming effect, improve the flushing power, thereby reducing water consumption. A faucet equipped with a bubbler can save about 50% of water than a faucet without this device. .

2. Splash-proof and noise reduction

After air is mixed in, the water flow becomes softer and the impact force is reduced. The buffered water column is even and the water column vertically reduces splashing.

3. Filter

The multi-layer filter can filter most sediment and impurities, and the internal grid can filter large particles of impurities (occasionally it will become clogged and needs to be cleaned).

4. Constant water flow/water output

With a pressure compensation or flow limiting device (commonly found in shower heads), it can ensure a certain water output when the water pressure is too low, limit the water output when the water pressure is too high, and stabilize the water output when the water pressure is unstable.

3. Working Principles of Faucet Aerator

1. The bubbler is a device installed at the water outlet end of the faucet, which mixes (increases) air when the water is discharged. It is true that the hand feels more comfortable when washing hands, but it can be deduced from this - "It can fully mix the flowing water and air, reduce the outlet water pressure, and increase the flushing power of the water, thereby effectively reducing water use quantity". But it is really irresponsible, and it is extremely irresponsible (I hope the person who proposed this point of view did not express it clearly, or was simply misunderstood by us). From the perspective of the fluid continuity principle, the bubbler essentially reduces the injection speed of tap water, weakens the impact force, and reduces the impulse (it also admits that the outlet water pressure is reduced).

The essence of decontamination and washing is force, and water is only a material carrier for transmitting force. The only way to improve water utilization efficiency is to strengthen and increase the impulse and particle impact force of water, while the bubbler can only slow down the flow rate of water and reduce the Tap water has large impulse and particle impact. Therefore, it is impossible to save water after installing a bubbler (you can experiment and compare and draw your own conclusions on whether to use more water).

2. The faucet bubbler changes the "pipe flow" of the water into a "line flow" at the water outlet of the faucet, and then changes the "line flow" into a "jet flow" through the pressure of the air, and then uses the "water divider" to Beat the water well to make it soft. The water is powered by the pressurization of air, and the flow of water is reduced without affecting its use. It can reduce water bills, energy consumption and sewage discharge. The water-saving nozzle can effectively prevent the accumulation of dirt, eliminate the possibility of bacterial breeding, and effectively protect human health while efficiently saving water and energy and protecting the environment.

4. How to Clean The Faucet Aerator

The faucet aerator can filter impurities. Over time, it will inevitably become clogged and needs to be cleaned. You can remove the bubbler, soak it in vinegar, use a small brush or other tools to clean the debris, and then reinstall it.

This involves a question, that is: How to disassemble the faucet bubbler?

Use a small screwdriver to insert into the gap in the frame of the foamer and pry it hard, open the top plastic card top mesh, and take out the stainless steel mesh in the middle (there are four). After cleaning is completed, reinstall it in the order of disassembly (the burrs of the stainless steel mesh should be upward, and finally the plastic card top mesh should be installed and stuck).
