I wanted to ask why just my kitchen sink faucet aerator keeps having low water flow problems.
I take out the aerator and leave it overnight in vinegar and it works great for 2 weeks or so.
Then after that, the water flow gets slower and slower and I have to clean it again.
I put a brand new aerator in and it lasted two weeks or so.
When I take the aerator apart to put it in vinegar, I noticed on the rubber gasket (inside part of the aerator) I feel a grit in my fingers, like maybe salt.
The grit is not colored white, green or blue. Just seems to be colorless. But I can feel it in my fingers.
Any ideas why just my kitchen sink and not bathroom sinks would have the aerator clog so often?
Thanks!
