I'm wondering if the aerator is easy to unscrew? I have a portable dishwasher that I need to be able to attach to the faucet. Thanks!

Hi I had to return this becausee it was not the right configuration to replace existing one. Two plumbers i hired were not impressed with this faucet. I went with one made by Grohe that i purchased a a local plumbing supply company. It was worth the slightly higher price to get professional advise about what i needed. I recommend the same. Good luck.

very easy. May need a pair of pliers and a towel the first time, but after that hand tighten and you're good to go.

Unscrew the old aerator ring from the end of your kitchen water spout (where the water comes out) by turning it clockwise (as viewed from above). Replace it with the one supplied with PUR faucet kit. You need this new one because it has a groove that will hold the PUR 3333B filter assembly ("filter body") in place. To install the new filter body, look on the top of it for a hole and black wire screen (and two white sliding tabs). Match that hole to the end of the spout and snap the filter body up and onto it. To remove, squeeze the two sliding tabs toward each other, and the filter body will be released from the spout. To replace the filter cartridge inside, hold the filter body with one hand, and unscrew the domed top with the other hand. Remove and replace the cartridge, then reassemble. Hope this helps...Bill

We have an oversize, extra deep sink in our laundry room but it has a standard Kohler faucet assembly. I removed the "so-called" aerator fitting in the end of the faucet and then screwed in the adaptor for this Ace device. When the hose is not attached, it looks like a normal sink faucet; when we snap the hose fitting on over the adaptor that gets screwed into the spout, then the Ace device works as a hand held spray attachment. Very easy to install and very easy to connect/disconnect when you want to use the hand held sprayer. We use it for bathing our small Maltese dog; the sink is deep enough that she cannot jump out. We usually lay a small perforated rubber mat in the bottom so she does not slide around. The sprayer and attaching device work great.

The aerator will unscrew from the front of the faucet, you can just soak it in white vinegar to descale it. There is another if you unscrew the faucet from the hose. Unscrew it.. it should just be a mesh piece with a washer around it, either pry it out or pour vinegar in there at let it sit for a while.

I removed the screens in the aerator on mine as it restricted the flow and caused a non-uniform water pattern. And I would rather not have a bunch of bubbles in my water glass. Try it either way.

yes i know it has an aerator, unsure what the restrictor is but i can assure that for a fraction of the in store cost for this unit it works pretty well. I have had mine installed for 6mo and it still works great. This unit is plastic though which i didnt like. but cant really tell.

If you have to hook something up to the faucet to use your portable dishwasher, then yes, you would have to remove the entire system from the faucet. I've never used a portable dishwasher so I dont know what the process is to get that ready. Good luck, I hope you find something that works :-)

This is the standard version. It has no aerator that I know of. I didn't purchase any other version of the sink positive.

No, it is not a sprayer. It would be perfect if it were. You can purchase a sprayer to add to the end of the faucet if it is super important. We exchanged the small end with an aerator. It was very easy to do. You can search amazon for "faucet aerator"; there are a number to choose from.

Yes, the aerator can be removed. I had difficulty with this also and didn't want to damage it by grabbing it directly with pliers or something. The way I finally got it off was to cut a strip of plastic from a milk jug and then wrapped it around the aerator (similar to what Texas Ted suggests). Next, I used a vise-grip and snugged it down on the plastic just enough to create friction but not enough to crush the aerator. This worked like a champ and the aerator came off without damage. I notice now that it's very tight again although I only put it back on finger tight so I guess I'll have to use this trick again the next time I want to take it off. Yes, the aerator can be removed.

The part where you see in the picture where the water is lifts out of the base. There is a knob to unscrew and take off. It is easy for me to do. I used to have another humidifier that it was so hard to screw off the base because I have arthritis really bad in my hands. I can unscrew this top just fine. I hope this helps. This is the best humidifier I have had.

David, it would be very easy to take this with you on vacation. You would just have to take the faucet adaptor that comes with it, as well, and install it in the faucet you plan to use. (This is not difficult.) I live in a rented apartment most of the time, and I bought this unit to use ONLY with a faucet adaptor, not under the sink. It is not a beautiful appliance, rather space-ship-like with long plastic tubing that whips around when not in active use. I STORE it under the counter, and this is perfectly fine with me. I have never taken it traveling, but I would not hesitate to do so. The unit seems more than sturdy enough to withstand some jostling. It would be extremely easy to break it down and set it up in a new location. I have had this unit for more than a year, and it still works beautifully. About time for a filter replacement according to the calendar, but there seems to be no reduction in quality or speed of filtration. The best part is that when I am using it, I can lift the "reject" tubing to see what is coming out and it is almost always milky-white with...something (unthinkable)... most likely the dissolved salts that are so high here in the summertime when we switch to Colorado River water... while the filtered water is crystal clear. My orchids have never been so happy before! :) I recommend this one without reservations.

No, the threaded end screws onto the faucet (replacing the existing aerator). Then you connect the dishwasher snap fitting.

Unscrew the aerator to expose the thread. The majority of faucets use either the large (15/16) or small (13/16) aerator gauge. The unit fits the large size out of the box. For the small one you would have to make a trip to a Home Depot and get a different adapter.

I don't think it can be removed easily, if at all. You would have to force it. I've had mine for over 5 years and I usually just rinse it out and put some vinegar in and swish it around to make sure no metallic tastes come out with the water. I've used dishsoap too.

I am using this with a pull out sprayer faucet. It was difficult to find an attachment which can make it work. We added an adaptor just before the faucet aerator so that we could fit the filter. However, due to this, we can no more use the faucet as a sprayer. But that's fine for us.
