1. Removing your current faucet aerator
If your old aerator is calcified and hard to remove, you can:
- wrap it over night in a cloth soaked with decalcifier or
- stack a few telephone books in the sink, then place a cup on top filled with decalcifier so that the aerator is covered, and let it stay overnight.
- The next day, wrap the faucet aerator in a thick, wet cloth (e.g. a multilayer kitchen rag) and...
- ...tap it with a small hammer or similar implement in order to remove remaining calcium residue, or...
- ...carefully remove the flow aerator with a pair of pliers

How do I remove the AquaClic?
|

|
Unscrew the AquaClic in a counterclockwise direction, decalcify if necessary, e.g. with «Durgol». Alternatively, wrap the AquaClic in a wet cloth and carefully unscrew it – without damaging the surface – with a pair of pliers.
The black adapter is stuck in the faucet? The AquaClic's universal adapter comes with several notches:
- Insert the edge of any coin into a notch
- Then just unscrew the adapter as if you were using a screwdriver. You can still not remove it?

Cleaning and decalcifying
|
 |
You can clean AquaClics with all commercially available cleaning and decalcifying products, which will keep them looking great for years. Note: do not use cleaning vinegar or abrasive materials, e.g. steel wool.
- Give your AquaClic, either assembled or unscrewed, a short soak (e.g. in Durgol), or soak overnight (e.g. in salad vinegar).
- Rinse off all parts, if you need to you can dislodge any residue with a brush.
- Screw everything back together per the illustration above.
|
 |
If the filter is clogged (Figure 5 below or above):
- Pry off the «impact protector» with a sharp object, e.g. a thin knife (be careful not to injure yourself!).
- Thoroughly rinse all parts, using a brush if necessary.
|
 |
If the regulator is clogged (Figure 4) Examine it closely: if small particles are stuck in it, blow on it strongly to dislodge them.
If necessary, replacement parts can be found in the online store. |
If your faucet leaks...
|

 |
it might be because:
- the topmost washer (1) is missing for a faucet with inner thread
- the internal washer (3) is missing
- there's an old washer inside the faucet preventing the AquaClic from being screwed in all the way.
Is the faucet dripping with, or without, the AquaClic?
- In some cases, the AquaClic's low flow rate can cause a faucet that's dripping just a bit to drip a bit more.
This is usually caused by a worn-out washer in the tap, which your janitor or plumber can quickly fix. |
If the AquaClic won't screw on correctly and pushes away:
|
 |
- Make sure there are no more washers inside the faucet
- See whether you can screw in the AquaClic and the adapter (2) without the top washer (1). If so, the water will trickle out a bit, but we'll send you a thinner washer that will fit and seal the faucet tightly.

If your AquaClic whistles...
|
 |
...the flow rate for your water pipe is too low. Read more here... |
