replace moen aerator

[@alishamassa]

Ohmy gosh! Im going to take the bottom apart and check if the aerator screen is broken! Its been driving me nuts that its not aerating because we have strong water pressure but a shallow sink so water splashes up everywhere on the crappy laminate counter and poorly caulked backsplash. I have done many rounds of vinegar and iron out and the head is “clean” so couldn’t figure out the problem. Thank you!

Thanks. I could not figure out how to get it apart. The metal ruler works!

Thank you for making and sharing this instruction. You're right this is a lot cheaper than replacing the wand.

Great idea with the chip clip!!!!

[@rstefanie2622]

Just read on Moen Q/A Glenshire that the aerator is built into the wand head. Soaking in vinegar overnight to see if this frees up the gunk from a failed water softener. The parts illustration show it as 1 piece instead of an itemized parts list.

Good to know...also if it can be taken apart typically you can replace the part

You can remove the aerator all together and get much better water flow. I do this every time I buy a new fixture.

[@mookiemisc]

Holy crap! Thank you for this info. Just did this and it’s so much better!

Can you replace the plastic piece where the ruler goes? Mine was so tight that the plastic got all scratched and deformed

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Not sure what "ruler" is?

[@mollylenyo1407]

You used a ruler to remove the aerator.​@@GetToThePointplz123

my moen faucet aerator doesn't have the 2 notches that you can stick the ruler in and twist it out
