As I was just washing my hands, I noticed that the sink water comes
out bubbly. I've used a few over the years, where the water came out
clear.

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.

It causes more suds when washing dishes by hand (if you add soap
before the sink is full). Suds have little or no function except to
overflow the sink and make a mess, but people want them anyway. I
always fill the sink THEN add soap.

Because water from the bathroom sink tastes better
than water from the kitchen sink.

The aerator helps with rinsing and prevents splashing.

ttHAts what I read too. The original clothes detergents didn't make
any suds and no one would buy them. So they added something to make
suds. OTOH, I use the suds to tell if I have added enough soap or
detergent. It seems to me, that when there is too much dirt, there
are no suds in the washing machine, and that adding enooug detergent
to match the dirt allows some suds to be there.

always fill the sink THEN add soap.

I don't know. The first paragraph is this:

Aerators

Aerators restrict the flow of water from your tap without reducing water
pressure. Fit an aerator to your taps and reduce the amount of water
you use by more than 50%.

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.

By making the opening "smaller", you get less water at the same pressure.

Put your thumb over the end of a garden hose so most of the stream is
blocked. The water pressure coming out is a lot higher, but there is
actually less water coming out.

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?

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.

If they spray to the side, it's usually because they're cheaply made
(something I've never seen on high quality faucets), or they have debris in
them.

What? Are you sayin' I'm not a man because I like the aerator? I'd make
some comment about my wife thinking I was gay when we first me, but
that might be crossing a line... ;-D

What I DO hate about aerators is that they get clogged quite easily by
debris in the water line. Living in a hard water area, I get lots of
calcium deposits in the hot water line that throw tiny little black
chips which build up and clog the faucet. About every other month I
take the aerator off the faucets in the house and clean out the
"stones" (as my wife likes to call 'em).

Snort. When I'm running water out of the kitchen tap,
it's usually because I'm trying to fill something up.
All a flow-reducer does is waste my time.

If you like aerators, you lack testosterone, and thus you are NOT a
