Weak pressure for no apparent reason? We solve the problem!

The weakening of the pressure at the tap sometimes not at all due to the change in pressure in the water. Yes, friends, the cause of this is the elementary clogged aerator. What aerator and ekonomitel I talked to the channel previously.

In every modern goose spout and mixer tap screwed separate feature, inside which three basic elements: a body, a lid and fine grid mesh (metal or plastic).

Since the water carries with it a fairly large solids, and then they are stuck in the mantle and gradually cover the small holes. Head weaker at once, so the owners only after years notice that with the pressure in the system that something is wrong. I myself came across this once even during the installation of a new water system, code is not checked aerator and thought that somewhere incorrectly soldered pipes, so the water is almost no flow.

So if a single tap water is fed normally, and the other just barely, then the first step is to remove the aerator and see if there pieces of rusty metal, scale, or something else.

1. On the aerator has a flat recess, so we use a wrench and carefully unscrew them this tiny detail. Aerator housing is made of soft alloy - silumin very fragile in compression. Pliers, for example, to crush the body easy, because they work primarily in compression and break it.

Important. If the aerator is a few years is not removed, the key to unscrew it will be difficult, it may even crack, split in half and thread remains in the gander. In this case it is necessary to remove parts of the goose and remove the remnants of the aerator from it.

2. Parse otkruchenny aerator on my part and all alone. It happens that the solid particles have to pick out from the holes of the mesh with a needle. Only need to remember that as a set, so you did not have problems with the assembly. Separately, you need to pay attention to the state of the thread as it turns sour in a moist environment.

3. We are putting parts into one whole, and put in place. Carving on silumin housing aerator is relatively weak in the case of misalignment it very easy to rip when it is screwed into the gander. After installation check the status of purging aerator head.

Even if the pressure drop is not the cause of the aerator, it's still necessary to work for nothing so I do not have to clean it prodelyvat Ingoda.
