Aerator
Aerators are flow restriction devices designed to limit the amount of water that comes out of a dispenser by mixing air into the water stream. Aerators maintain steady pressure in the water flow and restrict the amount of water that is used for a given task.

Metering / Sensor-operated
Metering faucets dispense water for a pre-determined period of time. Combined with a low-flow aerator, metering faucets deliver a pre-defined volume of water (0.125 gpc - gallon per cycle). Electronic faucets use a motion controlled sensor to activate water flow. They can either be programmed to turn off when motion ceases or based on a predetermined period of time. Both metering and sensor-operated faucets can use low-flow aerators; however, the faucet may cost more than conventional faucets. -
