Question: Should I take aerators off my faucet and just have a stream of water?

Have you ever taken on off and seen the crap and corrosion trapped in it? That will be in your water.

How about buy a cheap water distiller (not an electric model) because what if the power goes out.

And a lead removing pur filter.. get a decent rating, something that can remove heavy metals, chlorine, and rx drugs like carbamazepine ... again, not one that goes on the faucet but a pitcher, and few extra filters.


With that system
you can even drink rain water

and puddles of dog piss,

if you had to.

aerators help oxygenate the water and oxygen is a good sterilizer.
it also helps in foaming of soaps.
aerators were created before the greenies came into being,thus aerators are actually a benefit.
