I have been trying for WEEKS to get the aerator off the faucet in the bathroom sink. Tried vinegar treatments and even a small pipe wrench. No luck until I saw this video, it worked wonderfully in just less than a 24 hour soak with a balloon as you demonstrate. I used the pipe wrench, it did distort the aerator but repositioning the wrenched helped unlock the oval shape that the wrench grip caused and it slowly moved and it was full of grit and rust. My hat is off to you and I'm off to get a new aerator and it will be installed with some plumbers grease or anti-seize compound as a plumber installed it 8 years ago. I am grateful to you sir!

Thanks so much it actually worked! I've wanted to put a water filter on my faucet but could never get the aerator off. (Finally learned what it's called) I had everything but a balloon so cut rubber glove and used a small rubber band. At first I thought it wouldn't work but then I felt it move and after a couple of turns, the aerator just came off. I can now use a water purifier and stop buying bottled water. It's the little things that make me so happy😊 You have a new subscriber👍

Necessity is the mother of invention, whether it’s a balloon or rubber glove as long as it works.

Nice trick with balloon. I would consider shutting the drain while working with the filter. They have a way of disappearing.

Thank you. This helped me remove the aerator. However I think I may need a new aerator since I took all the insides of the aerator out and still have issues.

Best trick I saw for a stuck aerator was to use pliers that have rubber coated handles and use the ‘handles’ to grip the aerator. Don’t squeeze too hard or you might distort the aerator.

Clr or vinegar loosen the lime. Start there.

Many people have 'cached' aerators and cannot twist the aerators off with the small plastic tools usually suggested. The tools have small 'teeth' and do not grip the aerator well enough.

Note many bathroom faucets aren't solid. Even Moen genta is a two-piece. Many faucets will put a plastic piece on the underside to save money. So when you try to strap or rubber band a balloon or a bag you might find that you'll have dripping out the bottom under the sink because the liquid is also running there. So do not try this if you have two piece and it's not fully sealed.

I have a stuck recessed bathroom faucet aerator. I have tried soaking the tip of the faucet in vinegar for 24 hours and it didn't work. Do you know of any thing else I could try to get my recessed aerator out of my faucet? Thanks

Try using a Knipex smooth jaw pliers-wrench. It won’t mar the finish, and you will also realize you will almost never want to use a crescent wrench again!

I accidentally stuck the new Delta Everly aerator in upside down after I purged the line installing the new faucet. It seems stuck, I think I saw a small rubber o-ring on the side I pushed up into the faucet. Tried to pull it out, pry it out, trying not to bust it. Any ideas, thanks!

Well I tried 24 hours of a balloon full of NickleSafe which is phosphoric acid. No effect. Maybe I’ll try again at a higher concentration.

You can do this on a shower head .Fill a sandwich bag with white vinegar around your shower head overnight.A twisty or rubber band will hold it in place. Good luck
