As I was just washing my hands, I noticed that the sink water comes

Other than the "savings" from lower flow, is there any other advantage
to bubbly water for hand washing. Instead of clear water?

Would it work as well if I had a simple non-aerating faucet which
delievered clear water?

Pretty much the same with or with out the bubbles. However it does
reduce splashing, breaks up the surface tension a little and does save a
little water. Really those are all good things. Why do you want to change
it?

A lots of folks, esp. women, like the softer, gentler "feel"
of the areated stream of water too.

The effect can be really quite pronounced.

As a man, I hate em'. I always remove them, or rip the innards out
of them so they dont spray to the side.
