You can tell your faucet aerator is bad or failing if you notice water spraying erratically in sideways directions, a sputtering or spitting water stream, a noticeable drop in flow volume, visible white crusty calcium deposits encrusted around the screen tip, or dark rubber debris mixed into the flow. These symptoms indicate that mineral scale has choked the internal mesh screen or damaged the washer. Verification: Unscrew the aerator tip and inspect the internal mesh screen for mineral buildup or physical tearing.
