Two Questions Please: 1. Does it have an aerator (the little screen thingy) where the water comes out?2. Is there a Water Restrictor in it?

yes i know it has an aerator, unsure what the restrictor is but i can assure that for a fraction of the in store cost for this unit it works pretty well. I have had mine installed for 6mo and it still works great. This unit is plastic though which i didnt like. but cant really tell.

yes and yes :) What's interesting though, is the aerator is female thread different from the norm.

Joanne is wrong, sorry. The screen and rubber washer are just that. A screen to keep the inevitable small sand and particles normal in waterlines to keep from clogging further down stream. Only way I can see to increase flow is to drill out venturi in white plastic swivel section. Leave the screen in. I went ahead and tried to drill it out, and works fine. Hole size a received is a little less than 1/8" and I stepped up to 11/64". That's not a huge change, Works fine and did increase flow some.

no idea ~ i didn't buy it with those questions in mind. i'm sure you can get one of the water saver things you can put in the head to conserve water if you wanted

No water restrictor is installed. This model is designed especially for low water pressure area use.

Filter free. Or it has a filter built in that doesn't need replacing. I'm not sure. The only thing that can be opened/accessed is the water reservoir. The instruction manual doesn't mention a filter. It's a very simple design. That is not to say the technology is simple...

no noticeable water restriction. But this item, while attractive, will rust out in less than a year. I loved it, but it was a huge waste of money.

This item does not come with a flow restrictor. Meanwhile, the waterflow is around 2.4 GPM.

There is an aerator that screws off. I bought it for my parents and attached a water filter to threads.

Yes. It has a rubber stopper to hold and empty water easily. However, it is quite large so make sure your counter can accommodate.

It's in the water resavior it has a brown handle on it that sticks up just above the water line..some don't have the filter. You have to buy the whole unit and it rest where the water leaves the resavior

It does not come with the flow control or screen which I found out after it arrived. After doing more research I found a place that sells the complete two filter plus RO cartridge PLUS the flow control, all for less money. I recommend you check out http://www.freshwatersystems.com/p-7189-ge-smartwater-ro-system-replacement-water-filter-kit.aspx. I can't say that I personally bought this - I had already bout the one with no flow control - but I will be going there for my next purchase. They also sell the flow control separately which I am going to order.

There is a 12x12 metal screen under a plastic mesh cover. It does keep the water clean from big debris but small dirt and sand might find its way in. Overall i will say that the water is clean and free from those pesky mosquitoes.

No, there is female threading for an aerator. I bought an adapter/quick release so I can attach either a garden hose or sprinkler head.

Our complaint is how loud it is when the water runs through it . It sounds like I'm needs a screen in it.did anyone notice this?

No just water. But I don't recommend this product. It just swirls...not much action. Purifier its not.

It has a water repository at the front/bottom and once you use the already made ice, it brings up more water to create additional water. I love this machine, and my kids love it even more. They find it amusing to watch water go up and become ice. Hope this helps. Steve
