My water flow from my kitchen faucet seemd slow so I unscrewed the aerator
to see if it was plugged. I'm having a lot of trouble reattaching it. It is
required, the flow is otherwise very splashy. I can't seem to screw it in
properly despite several tries. There seems to a trick to it I'm not
familiar with. I've had no problems in the past with other faucets.

Suggestions?

TIA


For some things, turning the thing counterclockewise, until you feel
the click/thump when it goes over the edge of the thread and falls one
wavelength, helps to find the right spot to start turning clockwise.

I don't think aerators are one of those things, but it's worth a try.

This "trick" has worked for me many times. Especially on fine threads.
Really good for any threaded connection. (plus holding it square)
