JEA Home Efficiency Kit FAQ Guide
The old washer for the aerator you removed may still be in the pipe. Check with your finger and remove it if it's still there. Also, your new aerators need to be installed using the outside threads on a female pipe. If your existing pipe is in the male configuration, simply remove the large outer rubber washer, leaving the small washer in the aerator, and use the inner threads on the aerator to install it on the male pipe.
Standard kitchen and bathroom faucets can use up to 3 gallons of water per minute. This means that a round of washing dishes may use up to 36 gallons of water - and usually warm water that is heated by electricity. Using energy-efficient kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators can reduce that energy usage by nearly 50%*
*According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Water-efficient fixtures and aerators mix air with water, which slightly affects the water pressure in your bathroom and kitchen. These aerators perform well across a wide range of water pressures thanks to pressure-compensation technology.
