Tip - Faucet Aerator Tool
If you haven't removed your faucet aerators in a long time, good luck, especially if you have a plastic "hidden" recessed aerator. These come with a round plastic tool for removal, but I spent several days trying unsuccessfully to remove two aerators. I had a plumber at my house doing another project and I asked him to remove it. He couldn't and suggested that I buy a new kitchen faucet. Today, I received this Danco tool from Amazon, and the aerator came right off.

In 40 years of home ownership and DIY experiences, I have never had an occasion to remove one.
I have a softner to avoid these hardwater problems. |

If that Plummer didn't remove it trying to get you to buy a new faucet. Personally I would NOT hire them again.
Hope your recommendation will help others. |

On the same subject I soak our shower head over night in vinegar
and what a difference it made. It made the stream so much softer then before. |

Never know when I might need one and haven’t made the add a water softener or not decision yet Toymeister, so one is on its way to tape under my sink as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for letting us know about this tool. Also, thank you for needle and vinegar tips too!

I'm not handy, but I sent for a replacement kit from Amazon, they sent me a replacement kit with a little plastic tool and a number of filters of different sizes. Once I found the size, I needed I replaced it within minutes and now just order the aerators I need for the bathroom and kitchen faucets. What I did find even though I have an expensive water filter for the whole house and my aerators do not get cloaked they do seem to get dirty. Call me delicate, but I don't want to be drinking that dirt water, so I change these aerators occasionally need it or not.

Before you try to remove, try spraying/splashing some vinegar on.
