Can I change an aerator to adjust GPM?

Given different purpose and needs, users can adjut the GPM of the faucet by replacing a different type aerator. Aerators screw into kitchen and bathroom faucets. Holes in the screens add air to the water as it streams out of the faucet. Faucet aerators are screens at the end of a faucet. The devices reduce the amount of water that comes out of a faucet and control the stream. If you need to adjust the GPM, please just remove the old one and replace a new one. Please refer to the uninstallation process according to the manual of the faucet.

How to remove the aerator?

Turn the aerator counter-clockwise (as viewed upward from below the spout) to unscrew it from the spout. If this does not work, try moving the pliers a quarter-turn around the aerator, and try unscrewing the aerator from the new position. (Moving to different positions can gradually loosen a stubborn aerator.)

How to choose a bathroom faucet according to my desktop and bathroom style?

Choosing a faucet according to types, finishes and styles and water flow. You'll probably live with your new faucet a long time, so you might as well love it.
Faucet Types:
Single-hole faucets combine the spout and mixing handles'often a single lever'into one unit that requires only one drilled sink hole. For retrofits, some models include a bottom plate that will cover existing three-hole openings.
Center-set faucets fit standard three-hole sinks. They'll have either a single lever or two handles mounted on a plate.
Widespread mounts have three separate pieces: Two handles and the spout. The standard distance between the handles is at least 8 inches, and the three pieces tend to be larger than other types of bath faucets.
Faucet Finishes:
Polished finishes are elegant but require constant upkeep to keep them looking sparkly. Brushed finishes are better at hiding water spots and fingerprints, which is great if you have kids.
We offer chrome, brushed nickel and oil rubbed bronze finishes for our bathroom faucets.
Faucet Styles:
Avoid a tiny faucet on a big, bold sink, and vice-versa. Also make sure that the style, such as contemporary or classic, matches that of the sink.
Flow:
The technology used to achieve exceptionally frugal flows either is built into the faucet body or applied to the aerator, the little screw-on tip that fits on the end of your faucet. Smartly engineered low-flow aerators will automatically adjust for pressure fluctuations, successfully restricting water while maintaining a full, powerful flow.
