Yes, it is physically safe to use a faucet without an aerator, but it is generally discouraged for daily use. Removing the aerator causes the water to gush out in a wild, unmixed, and splashing stream that increases water consumption and creates a messy splashback in the sink basin. Aerators are essential for introducing air into the water stream to maintain a soft, steady flow while conserving water. Verification: Turn on the faucet briefly without the aerator to observe the heavy splashing and uneven stream pattern.
