See here for how to remove water restrictor: • Remove Flow Restrictor...
This is a video on how to remove the aerator on a Moen faucet. Normally aerators are cylindrical and threaded, and they screw into the faucet, yet this newer design doesn't have an easy screw-in aerator, and anyway, I thought this video may be helpful.
Thanks for the video! You just saved from buying a new faucet 👍👍
Thank you so much for posting this! We couldn't figure out how to replace the screen without damaging the faucet.
Finally! I’ve been searching for several hours trying to find this answer, thank you!
Appreciate the video, it helped me uninstall the stock aerator. On another note, I am hoping to get more information from you or a commenter. This faucet allows water to come out in a 'laminar flow' which causes excess splashing. I contacted Moen to see if they had an aerator that I could replace for one that 'bubbled' the water flow. The Moen agents said they had the part but after receiving them it didn't changed the flow method. For those of you who need a replacement aerator, just give Moen a call, they will ship one to you free of charge. Part #185910 is 1 gpm and Part #181089 is 1.2 gpm. Unfortunately, they do not have an aerator that bubbles the water... very disappointed.
3 years with this faucet in silver. It works and looks great. Thanks for making this video. I will add this to my annual maintenance for this faucet.
That was the best instructional video I've ever seen. Really doing it for the people. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the nice comment!
Just bought this faucet. Thanks for saving a lot of future grief and head scratching. Saving
Thank you Soooo much for this video. Moen had sent me a new aerator (the package came with the aerator 2 screws and the little allen wrench) I certainly didn’t know how to install. I have 3 of these faucets! The mirror was genius and a game changer! My husband used to do this stuff but he had a small stroke so he is limited. He was very impressed with me! Thanks again
Dude you are a faucet hero. Thanks brother 😁
This helped me out, thank you. threw my Moen aerators in an ultrasonic cleaner and now they quit spraying like they got the clap.
This was the only video I could find with the same kind of Moen faucet I have. I wish you would also show how to remove the flow restrictor!

Thanks for posting this video. I have been looking for this info everywhere and couldn't find how to remove it.
Glad it helped!
GREAT VID - IVE SEEN PLUMBERS JUST REPLACE THESE BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO CLEAN THEM
Thank you! These plumbers you speak of just replace the whole faucet for a couple hundred bucks?!
This is great! Thank you so much! Have this exact faucet and it need a cleaning!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this Video!!! Real Quick Simple “How-To” & Very Easy to Follow!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My facet was pouring out vampire fangs style, so I followed your video and it flows like ice cold brew off the tap!! Thanks Man! 👍
Glad it helped!
what did you do to get rid of the vampire flow? mine started doing this, took the aerator out, blew on it, soaked in vinegar for 15 min or so. Put it back, no change...
@@rf6634 I had to carefully needle point out some mineral build up and clean underneath the faucet as well.
@@5150Mainevent thanks! what do you mean by cleaning underneath the faucet?
Sorry about the vagueness, I just cleaned off where the water pours from and a little behind the spout.
Thank you! Couldn't figure out how to remove and clean this.
Thank you for posting this. I appreciate it ❤
How do you replace this aerator? What is the part number?
Awesome video! I appreciate your effort and information.
"ok so welcome to my bathroom"
Love it bud
Thanks Cam! How's the fishing? I went out once this year and didn't even get a nibble!
@@heyitsjosh I cleaned up at Grundy Lake this summer. Great spot
@@Molson12 Hmm...I have a trailer!
@@heyitsjosh me too! I have a 15', 1968 Glenelle
Thx! I have a similar faucet. Single hole in chrome. Water came out trickling which seemed to get worse overtime. After removing the pink aerator the water flows out much better.
I'm glad it helped!
Can you simply leave the aerator out? Mine has very poor water flow with the aerator intact.
Awesome video, no other explain how this model works
Glad it helped
Thanks for your help and posting something that was not there to show me the way. Easy fix once you know how to take it apart.
I'm glad it helped!
THANK YOU! This video is just what I needed. The Moen website was not any help.
Glad it helped!
very helpful video! thanks for posting Josh
Glad it was helpful!
You saved my life thank you
Bought 2 of these for double sink in master. Easy to install. Look great in matte finish.
The aerator video was well put together. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey Josh, my Moen Genta faucet just stared to split stream and spit… I removed the aerator, soaked it in vinegar for a bit and then tried to clean it - didn’t resolve. Do you think it needs to be replaced? I can’t seem to find the part online.
Thank you! Exactly the help I needed!
Thank you! I found way to solve it due to you.
Thank you for this! Fantastic advice!
Thank you. now I know how to fix mine.
Good luck, but it’s actually fairly easy, so you should have no problem.
Thanks for getting me this far. Where is the flow restricter?. I want it gone.

I wanted to try soaking faucet head (aerator) in vinegar before taking it off. Do you know if vinegar will mess up the black matte finish? thanks and great video.
Thank you so much for the exceptional service and video. One of the screws won’t come out. What is the size of Allen key you recommended and which one you recommend to get a jammed screw out?
I would go one size up, or use metric instead of imperial/standard. Often the metric and imperial sizes are just slightly off, so one of my tricks is to use the opposite of what's normally used to see if 'slightly bigger' works better.
Thank you
This was very helpful as I replaced two aerators. Do you have any thoughts on what can be done as ours splashes quite a bit and after some research, it sounds like this is a common problem with the Genta series.
There is a flow restrictor in these units too. Maybe yours are missing those flow restrictors?
@@heyitsjosh I was able to check and they are in there. I guess some models just splash based on their design, how its installed, and the way it hits the bowl. Thank again!
Thanks dude, you’re a life saver.
Glad it helped!
ty my stupid faucet didn't have the common circular screw off one.
also of course the common allen wrench set didn't work with the 2/2.5/3 had to use a T15 bit.
Very nice presentation!
Thanks for sharing! Great videos especially since I have one too!
Thanks so much. Just saved me a ton of time!
I'm glad it helped!
Thank you for the video- i was wondering if i can buy that rectangular aerator- soaked it in Clorox didn’thelp.
What about compressed air spray?
Anyway to remove something inside to increase the water flow. I just installed 3 of those in my house and I am disappointed with the flow. I have good pressure so that’s not the problem. And surely not all 3 of them have debris that needs removing. I am wondering if there is a restrictor inside.
Did you sold the problem? I wonder if there’s some kind of flow restrictor that can be removed?
Flow restrictor is inside the round part closest to the water pipe the whole aerator assembly, opposite the flat end. Mine was pink plastic. Needle nose plier or a safety pin straightened out will coak out the round restrictor. My water flow increased 200% removing the pink restrictor.

Your video is terrific, The design of the Genta faucet (we have that same model) is AWFUL !!! All that work to remove the little screen aerator ? That's DUMB
What is the pink plug thing that flew out when I blew out the aerator. Do I put it back in flat side facing out or open side facing out
I think it's the flow restrictor: czcams.com/video/G4Ji9kjbr9s/video.htmlsi=VMpdlz_QjTSg6Qs-
This faucet is beautiful- it is it is a constant pain in the butt with hard water! Do you think it can totally be removed I appreciate your response!
Never mind I tried it it doesn’t work, but I did remove the pink water governor inside the aerator. Hopefully that’ll help!

Perfect. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the information. 👍👍
Thank you very much!
Have you tried to remove the handles? Do you have a video?
I need to caulk the bottom seam of the marble backsplash.
I did remove the handles, and it was very easy...not to caulk though, but because the installer left one a bit off-center, so I had to re-adjust it. If I remember correctly, you just spin the base that's just below the handle (on top of the vanity, not the part where your hands touch the tap to turn on/off, but the base just below the handle - that which the hand part is connected to. I think you hold the handle tightly and then spin the base and the handle itself pops off...) I will try tonight at home and report back.
I need to replace the aerator piece. Do you have a link to buy one?
No I don’t, sorry.
Replacement Aerators are $45 a piece don't buy this faucet!
In other words, don't buy this faucet if you're broke 😂😂
Wow! I wish I didn’t have this faucet now. That’s a lot for an aerator. Plus, I can’t find it online, that type.
A five minute video for this? Jesus Christ dude get fucking on with it
Where to find it?
Did you see a flow restrictor when you had the aerator off?
No. But I didn't look. If I take it off again, which I probably will since I have 4 of them, I will get back to you.
@@heyitsjosh I have a similar one but it has a single handle. The flow is quite weak. Where is the flow restrictor?
There's a pink plastic flow restrictor sitting loosely inside the aerator. You can lightly pry it out with something like a small flathead screwdriver.

Nice Moen faucet where did you purchase it from?
…not the Lightning store ‘cause it’d be trash!
Thanks!!
No threads but looks like a tiny top for a tiny bottle
This video was about 4:30 too long. C’mon man we don’t care where u get ur mirrors from.
Good info.Well done. Thanks
Thank you!
