What is a Caché faucet aerator?

Our › Caché aerators are "invisibly" installed into the faucet spout. You can recognize them by their blue seal. A Caché aerator will only fit if you have a faucet with a special bore, and it can only be replaced by a Caché aerator of the same size. › Here we show you how to find out which size you need.

They are available with different stream patterns, flow rates and › water- and energy-saving features. Some models have an adjustable angle or offer effective limescale protection thanks to the so-called SLC function.

Aerators should be cleaned or replaced regularly – at the latest when limescale becomes visible or the stream is no longer attractive.

If the aerator cannot be removed

If you do not have a suitable key to hand, or if the Caché aerator is already too calcified, there are several alternatives. It is also worth trying these methods if you have another type of › faucet aerator beside a Caché that is stuck.

Our friends at aerator.com show you how in this video.

The WD-40 method

If the aerator is stuck due to very heavy calcification, WD-40 can help. Follow the three simple steps (see below).

The screwdriver method

If neither the service key nor the two previous methods work, only "brute" force will help. You will need a screwdriver and two screws. Attention: Your aerator will no longer be usable afterwards!
