How to Measure Faucet Aerator
• Metric measurements are preferred, as they offer finer precision.

2. Standard Size, But Threads Are Too Deep in the Faucet
If your faucet has a 55/64″ female aerator but the diverter cannot reach the threads inside the faucet, you may need a faucet adapter extension (55/64″ female to 55/64″ male). Click here to check it out on Amazon.

Other Q&A
Q: How do I know if my faucet has enough water pressure for a water flosser?
Option A: Use a Pressure Gauge (if available)
Attach a pressure gauge to your faucet. Typical household water pressure ranges from 40 to 60 PSI.
Option B: Measure Flow Rate (without a gauge)
A faucet with a flow rate of 1.5–2.2 GPM should fill a one-gallon container in about 45 seconds.
Option C: Inspect the Faucet
Check that the shutoff valve under the sink is fully open — partially closed valves can reduce flow.
Option D: Test Another Faucet
Try connecting the flosser to a different faucet to compare water pressure and flow.
