Tap Aerator - Twin Pack

Rated 3.3 out of 5 based on 29 customer reviews

You may be surprised to learn that in some homes, taps can flow up to 18 litres a minute.

Together with the world leader in flow and stream control technology, Save Water save Money has developed the Tap Insert Twin Pack, designed to reduce the flow rate on two taps around the home to 3.5 litres a minute, saving up to 12 litres a minute and reducing your gas or electricity bills by reducing the amount of hot water.

And you'll not notice any difference - either to the flow of water or to your tap. Our Tap Insert Twin Pack is unique because you don’t need to replace the external chrome or steel casing (outlet housing) found with conventional tap restrictors – you simply replace the internal plastic parts. We've provided a simple plastic tool to help you get the job done without marking the ends of your taps - and allowing you to complete the job within a couple of minutes.

The Tap Insert uses intelligent flow control (PCA or Pressure Compensatory Accessory) which self compensates for system pressure. The Twin Pack is sufficient for two tap conversions - separate hot & cold taps or mixers - fitting up to 85% of taps with screwed outlets. If you find the insert does not fit your tap you can return the complete kit to us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

Each kit contains the following items:

4 adaptor rings ( 2 x black & 2 x grey) to select for your present housing when fitting.
2 x 3.5 litres a minute aerator with Intelligent Flow Control

Fitting Instructions:

Slide the opening of the blue tool around the end of the tap. There are various size fittings so make sure the tool fits snugly.
Twist anticlockwise until the end of the tap comes away from the spout.
Remove the original insert from the housing.
From the components, select one to replace the old insert, as follows (you’ll find only one component will fit):
- The grey ring is for housings that have an internal shoulder at the outlet of the housing.
- The black ring is for housings that have no visible shoulder.
- For small housings (JR size) just insert the aerator.
Install the converter ring into the tap housing and using original gasket replace on to spout hand tight. If using the grey or black converter ring, insert the aerator fully into the ring until the top of the aerator is flush with the top of the ring.

Will it fit my taps?
The tap insert requires the tap end to have two straight edges. It will fit the majority of taps with a screwed outlet housing. It is not suitable for large bath taps. The inserts should not affect the performance of your taps, merely regulate the flow to 3.5 litres per minute.

5 I've had these fitted now for a couple of weeks, and i'm already noticing a difference in the amount of water used.

Previous comments mention that the water feels softer during flow, and it does!

The only problem i had was the fitting tool didn't fit my bathroom tap!

Fantastic product and would highly recommend it :) —G Boxall

5 Great product which works. The water now flows at a lower rate in my kitchen sink thus wasting less water. Takes longer to fill up a kettle but saves so much water when i am doing everyday washing in my sink. The blue device helps to unscrew the original from the sink is a godsend.....Shame i can only use one as my bathroom sink tap does not fit it. —M Leung

5 Easy to fit and does what it says in the advert. Really impressed —C Brookes

5 Excellent item —Ronald Horbury

4 Fitted it to my bathroom sink and noticed that the water feels much softer. It doesn't feel like there's any less water and the pressure seems good, so i hope it's doing it's job! Doesn't fit my kitchen sink, but think it's a good product where it does fit. —Rachel Topps

3 Ok for soap suds but to much splashback (cannot reduce water pressure0 —Ken Ray

5 These tap inserts were very easy and quick to fit using the special fitting tool and left no marks at all on the taps. Once fitted the water comes through a slightly lighter flow but other than that no difference to the user. Great product for saving water. —Val Clulow

3 You can tell the inserts have been fitted as obviously less water comes out and it takes longer to fill a sink - however that's the idea and for most things it obviously saves water, such as running tap to wash hands uses less water. I would still recommend on that basis. —David Hailstone

5 Exteremley easy to fit and appears to considerably save water —Derek Tatham

3 Although this adaptor obviously saves water it also cuts down the flow when trying to whoosh water around the sink to clean it. So far my house has been divided over it. I think i shall keep it in place though. —Maureen Raud

4 Really slows down flow of water which is a
Bit of a problem at times —Graham Goodwin

4 The inserts were easy to fit and do what they say for kitchen taps. Beware, as it may not be suitable if your hot water pressure is too low. —G. Petty

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions about this product, please let us know and we'll do our best to answer.

Will fitting a tap aerator cause a problem with my boiler?

Any combination boiler should have enough safety devices to ensure that the restrictive nature of the aerator does not damage the appliance. The fact behind this is that a tap can actually be more restrictive than an aerator on the outlet, should the tap only be opened a fraction (itself a method of eco flow control) this can show an even reduced flow than the aerator offers.

If you are in any doubt please consult a professional plumber.
