CACHE AERATOR 1.2 GPM

🚰 What it is

It’s a small, screw-in flow restrictor and stream shaper that fits inside modern faucet spouts (instead of threading on the outside).

⚙️ What “cache” means

• Cache = hidden aerator
• It sits inside the faucet spout, not visible from the outside
• Removed/installed using a special key tool

💧 What 1.2 GPM means

• GPM = gallons per minute
• This aerator limits flow to 1.2 gallons per minute
• Helps meet WaterSense / water-saving plumbing codes

🔧 What it does

A cache aerator:

• Mixes air with water (smoother, less splash)
• Controls flow rate (1.2 GPM in your case)
• Helps reduce water usage
• Keeps a consistent stream even with pressure changes

🧰 Where it’s used

• Bathroom faucets (very common)
• Some kitchen faucets
• Modern Delta, Kohler, Moen, Grohe faucets
• Faucets with smooth “no visible screen” spouts

🧠 Simple explanation

It’s basically a hidden water-saving filter inside the faucet that controls how much water comes out and makes the stream smoother.
