Default aerators on faucets

How could this be true. How can it restrict the flow without reducing
pressure? How can it reduce the amount of water coming out without
reducting pressure.

I've lost faith in the page already.

Hope that was of some help...Jimi

While washing your pantihose under the sink MM... I suggest this: .
Aerators restrict the flow ....... which does actually maintain the water
pressure IN THE STSTEMNOT AT YOUR HANDS


A) Then they should say that. What do I care about the pressure in
the system? I care about the water I'm using. And it's nonsense
anyhow. If not having an aerator would decrease the pressure in the
system, then having an aerator that decreased the water flow by 50%
would still decrease the water in the system by 50% of the amount it
decreased without the aerator.

In the average home, how many people and devices are using water at
the same time? I don't know, but I've never heard anyone say they
have a shortage of water or water pressure when others are using the
sink. Whether there are aerators or not.

YOU IDIOT!


What's wrong with you?

and air is introduced
to reduce the amount of water consumed ...Please fully comprehend what you
are reading! Jimi


I'm glad to see that you noticed that one could make a distinction
between in the system and at your hands, but after that, you lost
control. I seem to understand it better than you do.
