Thank you, this was great! Clear, concise and accurate. Was able to repair our faucet aerator in 5" and save the $70 replacement cost (that's parts only; imagine if you had to pay for a visit from a plumber!). Don't let Delta Inc. or the plumbers union see this!
Very helpful. Thanks for making this video, it's the only one that showed how to get the aerator out of this type of faucet to clean it. Simple once you're shown how!
Worked for me. I subscribed, although I feel in these type of videos a tip button would be more helpful since these videos save people hundreds of dollars in repair costs. Thank you Thomas.
Many thanks for going beyond the superficial solutions that other videos have. Your video was clear and concise and solved the problem beautifully! Well done you!
Man I got pipe dope into my aerator and thought I would have to replace the faucet head, which would have cost me $90. So glad I came across your video, was able to clean out the aerator and now it's back to normal. Thank you so much.
I just found it. There is a special notched key that Delta provides to remove the aerator from the bottom of the assembly. I'll have to find that. I hope this helps someone.
Best video on Utube for Delta faucet fixes. Many thanks! This was so great. 2:49 - that blue part pops off (careful) with a small blade. This is the flow restrictor. Remove this blue screen and put the aerator back and flow improves on CA faucets. I have the Delta A112.18 faucet head, similar but not the same. My aerator unscrews without disassembly of faucet. Unscrew this aerator from face of faucet head using a coin or flat screwdriver. Soak in vinegar, brush clean of debris and reinstall with or without the blue screen. This improves flow.
Well done and good timing!. Today, I just took off the faucet sprayer assembly head on this same Delta faucet in your video. I was planning to clean the aerator screen and I couldn't figure out how to disassemble the sprayer head to get to the aerator screen. I did not consider removing the actuator button first. Anyway, you solved the mystery. Thanks!
THANK YOU!!! I was beginning to think that Delta had manufactured an un-serviceable sprayer, so that you'd have to cough-up $98 every time it got clogged up!
Thank you very much for the video as you saved me a lot of time. And it was worth taking apart to clean out the aerator and spray holes. And thank you for keeping it short and to the point.
Very nice. I had a problem with the yellow push valve itself (in the video, it the yellow plastic ). You can remove it by removing the valve retaining lock clip which just pulls off. Then you can with slight force pull out the valve assembly and when I did there was a worn circular rubber washers (I think there are 3 total). It had broken and pulled out of position so I could no longer push on the valve to get the faucet to switch between the shower spray and the regular "mode". The out of place broken rubber washer was jamming it so it wouldn't move all the way.
You would think for a company that offers life time warranty on things. They would make things easier for people to repair themselves instead of letting filing a claim and replacing the entire unit. What stupid engineering. Thank you for the video!
I see many requests fro finding the part number or replacement aerators. I looked on the Delta site and there are no exploded diagrams of the head. I do wonder if another aerator could be purchased (the style that screws onto the exterior of a faucet) and the "guts" of the aerator exchanged. In my opinion all of the pull-down faucets on the market offer dismal flow rates (typically 1.8 gpm). On my builder-basic single handle Detlta faucet ("Foundations" series) I get 3.4 gpm with a full-flow aerator. It makes filling pots and the sink far less time consuming. If anyone has tried pulling the guts out of another aerator (perhaps another Delta/Masco/Master Plumber branded part) to replace the one in a Delta spray head I would love to hear about it.
Hi, can someone link me where I can buy the Aerator ? All the Aerators I see on Amazon have a thread and this Delta fauce does not have threads. Anyone know the specific size of the aerator ?
I find that the button to activate the spray nozzle can be difficult to press if it hasn't been pressed for a few hours. Have you experienced a similar issue?
On a new Delta Paucet that had no pressure, I took the head off and held it upside down in the sink, then sprayed it out with the hose, which had strong pressure. A lot of black plastic very small pieces came out in the sink. I pue the head back on and oit worked great.
Thank you so much! The bezel is bit the same on my model (Addison) It appears to be sealed, but u'd love to disassemble it, if possible. I want to stop it from hissing, which is a sure sign of mineral build up.

I have looked all over for how to disassemble this damn thing. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video. Saved us from buying new faucet and lots of money. Only UA-cam video showing our faucet. Great instructions. TY.

Definitely came in clutch well explained and quick
OUTSTANDING!
I couldn't find this info within any other videos, anywhere. Thank you Thomas, very well done sir!
This completely solved our low water pressure issue in the kitchen and now have a happy wife! Thank you!

Yes, this worked for my faucet. I couldn't find these instructions anywhere else. Thanks!
Outstanding video! So helpful, clearly explained, with excellent video quality. Thank you so much!

I agree with the other positive comments about this video. Thank you for solving this problem for me.

They did but Thomas saved us from them!!!
Thanks again, this is the second time I have used this video to clean my faucet.
Easy peasy lemon squeasy... Thank you so much for easy to understand directions.. Fixed without a hitch.
Excellent video. Was wondering how to disassemble the head. Saved me from hacking it up. Thank you
Thanks Thomas, your video was very well done. You saved me a lot of time and frustration in cleaning the aerator.
Excellent video! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
saved my butt. And I have two of these faucets both fed by wells. Thank you.
Just wanted to like and comment. This was a perfect video for this faucet. Thanks
I have a similar model 9159-DST and the same applies to disassemble the sprayer in order to service.
Excellent video. Informative and to the point.
MERCI! Je ne comprenais pas comment le désassembler et je n’osais pas forcer!
Thank you very much for the video as you saved me a lot of time. And it was worth taking apart to clean out the aerator and spray holes. And thank you for keeping it short and to the point.
Great video, I fixed my dirty aerator. Thanks
This was excellent, and so straightforward. Thank you so much!
Precisely what I had wanted (and needed) to observe. Big thanks.
Thanks! You saved the day over here.
This was amazingly useful. Thanks a lot for your contribution, really!
Thank you! Saved me a headache!
Thank you so much. Absolute life saver
Thanks man you saved me $60
Has anybody found the replacement for the aerator? I can't finde the replacement anywhere!!! Thanks@ Excellent video!
Now this video helped me take out alot of dirt....not the Delta videos

Fantastic video, thank you!
To lube the O-rings use a waterproof silicone grease made for faucets like "Danco Perfect Match: Silicone Grease". Other types will wash away.
Worked for me. I subscribed. Thank you.
So how can you increase the flow more than flow restricter 1.5gpm?
Thank you sir! Your video is very helpful.

Very helpful - thanks!
I want to replace the aerator 1.8 to 2.2 and I can’t find the replacement part

Is ther a flow restrictor separate fom the blue screen? I wanttoincreasewater flow.

Very helpful! Thank you.
I cannot find the aerator unit, it is not threaded like replacements. Anyone find it?
Perfect. Thank you
Thank you for the video
And I subscribed too !!
Very Helpful!
I find that the button to activate the spray nozzle can be difficult to press if it hasn't been pressed for a few hours. Have you experienced a similar issue?
Yes. This is why I tried to lubricate it!

Is it possible to pop the bezel and then unscrew the aerator end instead of complete disassembly?
Not really. You will likely damage the clips or the plating. Beside, it only takes 1 minute to take it appart...
Very helpful video. Does anyone know where to purchase replacement aerators? These are an odd size. 15mm w x 13.5mm depth.
I was just looking at that, and that online store that starts with an "A" sells those. I haven't tried it, but search for this: B0811JYG3N
Excellent!
excellent
❤
where can I buy the aerator? seems the aerator is now removable, but I am not able to locate the replacement part; particular that size
I don't know, I guess you can just clean it instead of replacing it...
@@atcaron how do you clean the small holes on the outside ring? Can that area be replaced too?
My dude.
Thank you so much! The bezel is bit the same on my model (Addison) It appears to be sealed, but u'd love to disassemble it, if possible. I want to stop it from hissing, which is a sure sign of mineral build up.
