I noticed that the water from most of the taps seems to be aerated giving
it a really soft feel - great for hand washing. Also some shower heads have
a similar feature.

Do any UK fittings offer this? How is it achieved?


My mixer taps in house have a screw in 'fine mesh' which goes over the tap
outlet ..... makes the water feel silky.
Only place there isn't one is on bath filler - assume due to it slightly
restricting flow rate.

I first came across these in German in 1982 ... and I was doing a renovation
in UK at time ... and traced such taps -- Ideal Standard.

They are now much more common place.
