I have a delta faucet, no luck with any other keys (:.. I can these being used in public bathrooms, but they are really are a pain to change out in your house. My other bathroom has a regular male aerator. Bought a replacement; all done in 3 minutes.
When I use an aerator in my bathroom sink it takes forever for my water to come out hot. I found what I think is an old one I had laying around. It works great. The water comes out like a flood. But the holes on the aerator are toward the center. I don't think it saves water, but it works great. My hot water starts coming out within a minute. What kind is it? I have pictures of it I could send.
Tiny junior comes with 18mm threads and the Tom thumb with 16.5mm I believe. So these two are not standard. So far the only adapters you can get available from any place are from NRG (as on July 2017). A costumer asked me for two adapters for his Kohler "Rubicon" faucet and couldn't find them anywhere else.
I have Aquasource widespread faucets in bathroom and the aerators need to be replaced. I can't find that brand name anywhere. is there a universal that I can get somewhere. Oh I had all the tools (5 different sizes) but the TT one didn't loosen the aerator at all .... frozen ... I ended up destroying them when I tried taking them out .... Help!!!! any ideas?
Hi. I need some ideas. My cache aerator broke in place. So what I have left is the outer ring in its place (in the groove) and the colored plastic inside the faucet but no middle part. I don't have the "key/tool" and I can't get it anywhere near me. Any ideas to loosen the broken part from the groove will be much appreciated. Thank you!
I used my 1999 toyota echo key! LOL! Worked great, as long as it's not RUSTED on, it should come undone as you rotate it Counter Clockwise. What a dumb idea... but my CAR keys worked! I would imagine a pocket size craftsman standard screwdriver would work just as well! Good Luck! to get mine apart, with a pair of pliers and it the white screen part popped off...
WE10E-BN Sold by: Phiestina This model has no place on the edge for a key to fit. Just a bunch of little holes How do you unscrew this, it is in very tightly
Great info! I was struggling to determine whether I had a Tiny Junior or a Tom Thumb and your video answered the question. Dummy me, but the size was listed on the key all along! Doh! Now to see if my WaterSense Kohler Rubicon faucet will have a better flow if I replace the 1.2 GPM aerator with a 2.2 version. Oh, and I'm still wondering whether to get a PCA or regular aerator.
You can remove the aerator from the faucet with the appropriately sized removal tool by connecting the tool to the aerator turning it to the left. If you don't already have the removal tool, you can figure out the size of the aerator using this video, or another guide, and then get the appropriately sized removal tool.
Thanks for the comment! Faucets, even of the same brand, can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, so we recommend using this video, or another sizing guide, to figure out the size of the faucet and which aerator you need.
I have a green tool that came with my Moen faucets. Are all the green ones Tiny Jr? Also, where can I find a higher flow rate one that’ll work with a model 6410 faucet. From Moen’s site their replacement aerator model 137401 is 1.5 gpm. That’s just not enough flow - for me anyway
Hi pbgoodwin1. Although color can indicate size, a green removal tool doesn't necessarily mean that it's the tiny junior size. Can you see anything printed on the tool? If there is a "TJ" printed on the tool, it's a good bet you're looking at a tiny junior size aerator. If nothing is printed on the tool, you can use the coin method featured in the video to figure out the size. As for your particular faucet - we often have customers give us model numbers, but unfortunately, we aren't able to figure out size from the model number (manufacturers don't necessarily publish sizing information). Instead, you can figure out the size by comparing the aerator to different coins (see video for more information). Getting a higher flow rate aerator should be no problem. As long as the aerator size is right for your faucet, the flow rate being different shouldn't be an issue. Just be sure to follow any flow rate limitations in your area (some areas require lower flow rates on faucets).

OK. Two questions. Why don’t you tell us HOW to get the old one OUT. Which way - clockwise or counter clockwise. Second, is there a metal version of the tool to use after the original plastic junky tool strips?
Thanks for the comment! You can remove the old aerator by turning the tool counter clockwise. The tools shown here are plastic, but are sturdy enough that they shouldn't strip from normal use. As far we know, there isn't a metal version of the tool, but there may be one out there. The plastic removal tool we show here from the same manufacturer that makes the aerators.
I appreciate your video but relating diameters to American coins is useless to the other 95% of the world who have no idea what they are. Don't worry though you are not the only American using this coin measurement for aerators. 🙂
Thanks for the feedback on the lighting. We'll take it into account when we make future videos. Cache, as used here, is actually a brand name, not the word "cache," and the brand name Cache is pronounced differently from the word "cache" (as in "supply cache"). According to the manufacturer, when you're talking about a Cache brand Aerator, it is indeed "Cash-AY."

This doesn't show me how to do it. I'm having trouble with the o-ring on the Tom thumb sized zurn aerator.
Same question as Jay. How do I remove the old aerator? I have the proper tool but don't know how to use it. Thanks.

Does the Cache aerator fit the Grohe bathroom sink faucets?

New Resources Group thanks for the info
How can remove the housing of the aerator from the faucet itself?

How can I get the removal tool
I had a water filter on my faucet. It stopped working and I can’t put the aerator back.
great video...very helpful.
THANK YOU

HI Bill, great video and i really appreciate you offering to send me a tool to remove the Aerator from my faucet.
W-W-W Dot? Gosh, this must be 25 years old.
I appreciate your video but relating diameters to American coins is useless to the other 95% of the world who have no idea what they are. Don't worry though you are not the only American using this coin measurement for aerators. 🙂
we are making that faucet water saving aerators , for more details please visit www.gowatersaving.com,thanks
Cache is pronounced like "Cash", not cashay.
The camera work is very poor!
Thanks for helping me. Now I will help you, CACHE is pronounced CASH there is no A on the end of CACHE.
please reshoot and SHOW what ever. Too many flaws. some good basic info but....lame production
really poor job showing things on camera, continuously "shows" items, but while holding them out of view of the camera. useless.
Thanks. But ...
1. It's pronounced "CASH," not "cash-A"
2. Poor lighting in small items. Very difficult to see
Thanks for the feedback on the lighting. We'll take it into account when we make future videos. Cache, as used here, is actually a brand name, not the word "cache," and the brand name Cache is pronounced differently from the word "cache" (as in "supply cache").

It is pronounced /kash/. I cannot believe that someone make a video, on a national site, without researching the word!
