ABSTRACT:
A faucet aerator incorporating a flow compensator in order to allow higher flow rates of water at lower water pressures through the faucet aerator, including a faucet housing having an annular flow channel configured along a longitudinal axis through the faucet housing for the passing of water through the annular flow channel. The faucet housing includes a flow compensator sub-assembly connected to a spray sub-assembly for forming the faucet aerator. The flow compensator sub-assembly includes a flow compensator member having a plurality of spaced-apart water hole openings for allowing water at a high flow rate therethrough, a seat member for seating and holding the flow compensator in place and a flow compensator ball joint having an exterior threaded section for connecting and attaching to a connection ring of a faucet, a pin receiving opening for receiving a pin therethrough and a ball joint member for receiving a seat joint swivel member thereon for allowing the swivel member to swivel in a 360 degree rotation in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The pin includes a water flow opening, a first arm opening and a second arm opening and a flip lever having a first arm and a second arm; the first arm opening and the second arm opening of the pin for receiving the first arm and the second arm of the flip lever therein, respectively. The flip lever being movable from a first water flow position to a second water flow position in order to regulate the water flow rate for a particular spraying pattern.
