To keep it clean..every once in a whie put a sandwich bag of white vinegar on it overnight..secure it with a rubber band..You can do the same with your shower head too..

I've lived in an apartment for so long, I forgot how to change something as seemingly simplistic as this. Showed me how wrong I was. Good info. I like how you get straight to the point, no filler or uselessness.

Thank you for the video. All videos should start with "Cover the drain so you don't drop anything down it."

Outstanding presentation! I was having difficulty figuring out the recessed aerator, but now know I require a special tool. Hopefully Home Depot has them. Thank you for explaining it all so well. Much appreciated!

The plastic ring from a faucet water system I returned got stuck in my kitchen faucet. It’s internally threaded. I tried a knife, screw drivers, Allen wrenches (J SHAPE). I muscled out less than half. Thought I’d have to have the faucet replaced. Kept praying and trying. I looked in my kitchen miscellaneous drawer. Saw my old carabiner ( use for my keys). It had a J shape. It popped that plastic ring out after 2 nd try. I actually jumped up and praised the Lord. I’d been at it since about 7:00 a.m. it was now 10:30a.m. I’m 71 so I got a great arm workout. 😁

Thank you! Most times a new aerator isn't needed, just a good soak in some CLR along with a soft toothbrush.
