Moen 3919 2.2 GPM Male Thread Kitchen Faucet Aerator, Chrome

Two weeks ago, I had a new kitchen faucet installed &, after installation, I asked my plumber why the water flow was so weak. He did not seem to know. I took off the aerator to see if there was some restriction that could be removed to enable my sink or containers to fill more quickly & for my water to get hot as fast as it did before. The aerator could not be modified. So I did my research & found out that all newer faucets come with a 1.5 gpm (gallon per minute) aerator as opposed to older faucets that traditionally had 2.2 gpm. OK, Ill just go to Menards & pick up a different aerator. Oh no, you wont. They only carry 1.5 & this is apparently to discourage using water at a higher flow rate. Well, Mr. Brilliant EPA Guy, it takes just as much water to fill my sink as it did before. I just have to wait twice as long for it to fill. Also, it takes much longer for the cold water to leave the hot water pipe so I can get to the hot water. I can understand the rationale here but here we go again with some Government Agency determining how I can live my life. Thank God for Amazon!!! I went online & searched for a Moen 2.2 gpm aerator & there it was. I got it today & it fits like a charm & FINALLY I have acceptable water pressure. LOVE IT!! BTW, I have a private well so Im not tapping into public water with my wasteful methods. Come & get me, Water Police.

2 seconds to put on!

kitchen sink faucet

Im in a very old house and after the kitchen faucet clogged every couple months and I opened it to clean it by tapping small grit/sand/minerals out, it broke. Realizing that although the faucet flowed better now, I was going to end up with rocks in my water, I ordered a replacement (had to order 2 different ones before I found the correct replacement) and had everything fixed in a few minutes.

I had an Aerator that kept popping out of the sink. I tried putting Teflon tape and tightening the Aerator as much as possible, but to no avail. So I purchased this Moen to replace that craptastic old one. What a difference! It does not pop out and actually has a much nicer flow. I have two sinks in my bathroom and the other sink still uses the old Aerator. The flow is not as nice.

If youre reading this, yes its the one youre looking for in terms of flow and stream quality. To convey the sound (great stream quality) of this, imagine someone cooking a steak in a movie. Sound effects added, youre hearing a perfect sear sounding from what MUST be a 3 inch thick frigging cast iron skillet. That unwavering airy SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS is what your faucet will sound like. You may be more familiar with the sound of a truck tire stabbed with an ice pick. Or, a long long time ago there existed the snowy sound of a TV... on a channel... with....... NO BROADCAST FROM THE STATION!!! Oh man........ I just realized Im old enough to remember when theres nothing on TV was a statement of fact - that no viewable content was being broadcast on any of the VHF channels. Where was I Ah, buy this...

This aerator is perfect and fit well to my kitchen sink. The quality is good and it works well. It gives a good flow. Just perfect!

I ordered this on January 31, 2021, and received the 2.2GPM faucet aerator just like the listing said. I unscrewed the old aerators with 21 years of scaly hard water buildup on them and replaced them with these shiny new ones, all of which work perfectly. Very satisfied!

Nice, original equipment, heavy chrome, should last a while.

just like original
