Champagne mixer basin taps

Got an adapter for my kitchen sink that does the same thing; Can be adjusted from an aerated stream to a shower type spray. You can buy them from Lakeland, best thing since the invention of the bread maker.

Don't know if they have a web site.

I remember them as a kid in England. We always had one on the kitchen cold water tap, from about the 60s onwards. Except then it was achieved by a plastic nozzle, about an inch and half in diameter and 2 inches long, one pushed onto the tap outlet. The plastic was flexible and slightly pleated so that one could direct the water flow, which was very convenient, and I agree about the lack of splashing. We also always thought the aerated water tasted fresher.

I may be wrong, but I think they were called "Spa Flo".

You can buy them for about €3.00 in any French DIY store. Beware if you don't have a pressurised system as they don't work at all well on low pressure; you' might just get a dribble and the water won't mix if the pressure isn't balanced. I get away with them in my house as the header tank's just about high enough to give me 0.5 bar. When I've got the pump going, they'll be just fine.

I wish this thread had happened three months ago. The plastic diffuser on our kitchen tap sheared off when I was unscrewing it to descale it. After a couple of weeks trying to find a replacement (I found the exact same tap in Homebase but couldn't find who made it) I gave up and Araldited the bit of the old one back onto the tap.

I'm now debating if I can remove it, especially get all the Araldite out of the threads, so I can fit one of these.

So, back to my original Q ;-)

Anyone know where I can get one on a basin mixer in a fairly traditional design, and in gold effect finish. A "plug-on" doobry is not an option.
