By default, most faucets come with an aerator which is used to allow air to mix with the water at the faucet point and our unit is no exception. This allows for little to no splashing of water and also is ideal for water conservation. Our SaniTimer® uses an aerator that allows for laminar flow. Laminar flow is ideal for a hand hygiene situation, and is a requirement by many facility maintenance crews, as it provides for aeration of the water to avoid splashing while creating the most ideal setup for dispelling bacteria as the water does not laterally mix. With the other type of aeration, being turbulent flow, it allows for water mixing and cross contamination along with microbes to be more prevalent in the water itself. In the instance that a customer requires there to be no aeration whatsoever, our aerator is very easy to remove if that should be an issue. (You can use the included wrench in our box to do this as well.)
