ELI5: Why do water faucets have "aerators" instead if letting the water flow out normally?
gpt
The aerator saves lots of water while still providing a solid stream,  sufficient for washing your hands. An added benefit is that the aerated stream is less likely to cause unwanted splashing of water.

Drinking water straight from an aerated faucet sucks though, because all you get are mouthfuls of air.
