Antimicrobial Flow Devices

by Neoperl®

Every time a faucet is turned off a few drops of water are trapped inside the aerator (or laminar device) where they stagnate, warm up and eventually evaporate, leaving a film of scale - a source of food for biofilm. To produce an aerated stream with up to 50% air (white and soft to the touch) air and water are mixed in the faucet aerator's mixing chamber. Most aerators draw air into the water stream, which can be a concern in healthcare institutions because the air is collected from the room around the faucet, and sometimes that air contains bacteria.
When laminar aerators are used, air is not collected and drawn into the water stream, giving you a crystal clear stream of 100% water. Antimicrobially protected faucet attachments offer even more protection by incorporating the natural protection of silver, which prevents the growth of a broad range of microorganisms. By utilizing Agion® Antimicrobial technology, the laminar flow devices offered below deliver that extra built-in protection to help reduce the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew within the faucet attachment. Replace your current aerator with a laminar flow device and you'll feel better knowing you are getting cleaner water from your tap. The innovative screenless technology provides durable, dependable service, and with little build up. Let PlumbingSupply.com® be your source for these and thousands of other products.

Choosing the Right Aerator

Image of Male threads versus Female threads
Aerator size comparison

1. Determine whether your faucet spout is female or male threaded. Female-threaded spouts have their threads inside the end of the spout; male threads are found on the outside of the spout. If your faucet has female threads, you'll need a male threaded aerator. If your faucet has male threads, you'll need a female threaded aerator.

2. Now, you'll need to find out what size aerator you require. The easiest way to do so is by grabbing some spare change: a quarter, nickel, and dime. You'll compare these coins to the size of the threaded end of your existing aerator (or the outlet of the faucet spout itself).

  • A Regular/Standard size aerator (aka 15/16" x 27 thread Male or 55/64" x 27 thread Female) will be roughly the diameter of a quarter
  • A Junior size aerator (aka 13/16" x 27 thread Male or 3/4" x 27 thread Female) will be roughly the diameter of a nickel
Please note: the quarter, nickel, and dime are all approximate measurements. Before placing your order please double check your thread sizing. Some faucet brands use custom sizes, so if you know the manufacturer of the faucet, you can contact them for the exact aerator size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. "What is Agion® Antimicrobial product protection?"
A. Agion® helps prevent the formation of biofilm on spout ends. To prevent biofilms from forming, the Agion® compound within the Careguard® inhibits the initial colonization with a tri-modal efficacy unique to silver. What this means is that it attacks the bacterial cell wall, interrupts cell metabolism, and prevents bacteria reproduction.

Q. "What is Biofilm?"
A. Biofilm is a community of microbes that attach to surfaces. After initial colonization, the biofilm creates a "barrier" to protect the bacteria's environment thus allowing microbes to multiply. Various factors can increase the risk of colonization and bacterial growth: warm water, water stagnation (such as in a pipework dead-leg zone) and nutrients (scale, sediment).

Q. "How do these prevent vandalism?"
A. The exposed body spins freely preventing simple unthreading and unauthorized removal. A special key is needed to install or remove the aerator.

Q. "What do you mean by 'no added air, 100% water' ?"
A. Standard aerators allow air to mix with the water as it flows out from the spout to achieve a soft to the touch, white appearance that most residential users are accustomed to. Laminar devices are designed to not allow any air surrounding the outlet into the flow of water. This helps prevent any air possibly containing bacteria from entering the water stream.

Q. "I purchased a 1.8 gpm aerator and the packaging itself indicates 1.8 gpm. However, I noticed the aerator product itself has 1.75 gpm impressed into the metal. Which GPM notation is correct?"
A. Technically speaking, the flow rate is 1.75 gpm and has been rounded up to show 1.8 gpm on the packaging. When the state of California enacted The Water Conservation Act of 2009, they were required to reduce water consumption by 20%, reducing their maximum flow from 2.2 gpm to 1.75 gpm. The manufacturer started making their aerators 1.75 gpm to be compliant with California's law. However, California chose to round the 1.75 gpm figure to 1.8 gpm maximum flow rate (and several other states followed suit in reducing their maximum flow rates to match these figures). The manufacturer did not want to confuse their suppliers and opted to label the bag as 1.8 gpm and laser mark the housing as 1.75 gpm, rather than make two entirely different products when there is actually very little variation between them.
