To remove a flow restrictor from a faucet, start by unscrewing the aerator housing from the tip of the spout using your fingers or adjustable pliers wrapped in tape to protect the chrome finish. Once removed, push out the internal rubber washer and use a small pick or screwdriver to pop out the plastic flow-restrictor disk or mesh screen insert. Reassemble the outer aerator housing without the restrictor disk and screw it back onto the spout. Verification: Turn on the faucet to confirm that water flow volume has increased significantly.
