Unclogging a Faucet Aerator

If a faucet seems to be running slower than usual, the aerator may be clogged with a build-up of mineral deposits. An aerator is a simple insert that that most faucets come with, which fit inside of a faucet spout's chrome cap. Aerators conserve water and keep water from splashing all over the place, while still providing a steady stream and good water pressure. Tiny holes in the aerator restrict water flow by mixing air bubbles into the water stream. The minuscule holes eventually become blocked by small particles in the water; even the ones that get through may be trapped by the aerator screen.
To unclog an aerator, try the following steps:
1.         Place a towel or rag over the faucet cap, or cover it with a bit of masking tape. This protective barrier keeps the surface from being scratched when you strong-arm the cap off.
2.         Using a wrench or pliers, turn the cap in a counterclockwise motion until it separates from the faucet.
3.         When the cap is off, remove the screen and water restrictor. Pay attention to the way these small internal parts are arranged. When the time comes to put the aerator back in place, you have to replace these parts in the same sequence and position.
4.         Clean the screens by flushing them with water or by using a brush. Push through the tiny holes with a needle or pin to unclog them. Soak an aerator in a cup of vinegar overnight to clean out the small screens. Flush it with clear water before reinstalling it.
5.         Reassemble the aerator in the reverse order that you took it apart.
You should notice a big difference in the water flow after cleaning the aerator. You won’t see a stream of gushing water, but there should be a nice steady stream of running water.
 
If cleaning the aerator doesn’t solve the problem, then pull out a plunger. A common plunger is capable of unclogging a drain that even the toughest chemicals cannot budge. A plunger uses the power of suction to alternately push and pull the clog, until the force dislodges the blockage. If cleaning the trap doesn't clear the clog, try plunging the offending clog. But don't confuse a common plunger that's used for drains with a toilet plunger, which has two cups, one inside the other. A common plunger has a wooden broomstick-like handle that attaches to a cup-shaped piece of rubber. And before you start working with the plunger, remove any standing water that may contain chemicals, so you don’t splash those chemicals into your eyes and cause severe damage.
