Our precision-fit water aerators help you cut consumption, costs, and complexity. They fit 95% of taps and deliver consistent pressure from day one.
Upgrade your plumbing systems with high-performance water aerators built for flow control and durability. Engineered with mesh and flow restrictor technology, these compact devices maintain steady pressure while significantly reducing water output. Ideal for residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings, ista’s aerators are designed for easy installation, low maintenance, and seamless integration into existing tap fixtures.
Although a water aerator is compact, its internal design is highly effective in terms of saving water — and money. Typically installed at the tip of a faucet, it contains a fine mesh or disc with multiple openings. As water flows through, the aerator breaks it into smaller streams and mixes in air, creating a softer, more consistent flow. At the same time, the stream is compressed through a tapered outlet, providing the sensation of high pressure while actually reducing the volume. This clever combination of flow regulation and aeration reduces water and energy use without compromising the user experience. Advanced models even minimise splash and faucet noise, making them ideal for frequently used spaces such as bathrooms and kitchens.
ista offers a range of aerator types for different applications, each one designed to balance comfort, water efficiency and hygiene requirements.
Aerated Stream:
The most common type is ideal for residential and commercial washbasins. These aerators mix air with water to create a soft, full stream that reduces splashing while maintaining the sensation of high pressure, even when using less water.
Laminar flow:
This type provides a clean, non-aerated stream of pure water with no air mixing, resulting in a crystal-clear, non-splashing flow. Laminar aerators are ideal for environments with high hygiene standards, such as hospitals, laboratories, and food preparation areas, where the introduction of airborne particles must be avoided.
Spray stream:
Spray aerators are designed to disperse water into multiple smaller jets in a circular or shower-like pattern. They are well suited to kitchens and utility areas. They offer wide coverage and are especially effective for rinsing or washing up, while reducing water volume.
They can often be combined with flow restrictors or pressure-compensating inserts to deliver further water savings without compromising performance.
Even the smallest upgrades can significantly impact water and energy savings. That’s why ista offers a complete, hassle-free service designed to install high-performance water aerators in your building with no fuss, from consultation to installation.
Every building is different, so every aerator should be too. Our experts carry out a professional review of your existing tap systems, water usage, and pressure conditions. Based on this, we recommend the most efficient aerator types and flow rates for each location, helping you maximise savings without compromising user comfort.
ista’s aerators are designed for easy integration with 95% of standard tap fittings. Installation is quick, clean and non-invasive, so there is no disruption to end-users or day-to-day operations. Within minutes, your water outlets can be fitted with precision-engineered devices that enhance efficiency and performance as soon as you turn on the tap.

Achieve greater energy savings and efficiency with our comprehensive energy management and ESCO services, focusing on performance improvements with no upfront costs through guaranteed savings.
A water aerator is a small device fitted to the end of a tap. It mixes air with water as it flows out, breaking the stream into smaller droplets. This reduces the overall water volume without affecting the user experience. The result: you use less water, without noticing a difference in comfort or pressure.
Aerators are compatible with about 95% of standard taps. They come in various thread sizes and styles, including models for internal and external spouts. Our team can assess your fixtures and recommend the right fit for your building.
A standard tap can use up to 15 litres of water per minute. A low-flow aerator can cut this by more than half - to around 6 litres per minute. Over time, this can save over 1,200 litres of water per tap per month, always depending on usage and aerator type.
Yes. By reducing hot water usage, aerators lower the amount of energy needed to heat water—cutting down on electricity or gas consumption. This makes them an effective water and energy efficiency tool in one.
Absolutely. Aerators are a smart choice for residential towers, hotels, schools, offices, and healthcare facilities—anywhere with high water usage. When installed across a large property, the collective savings on water and energy are substantial.
Aerators are generally low-maintenance, but in hard water areas like the UAE, regular cleaning or replacement is recommended every 6 -12 months. ista offers models with anti-clogging features for high-TDS environments to extend service life.
Absolutely. ista offers a turnkey service—from recommending the right aerator type to handling bulk installation across your building. We ensure every unit is properly fitted and optimised for both water savings and comfort.
