True Grit

True Grit

I do not know if everyone cleans the aerator on the kitchen and bathroom faucets; but for those that do, have you recently seen grit that appears to come from concrete or cement?  I have cleaned and replaced the parts seeing particles and the normal yellowish scummy buildup but the grit is new.  There were about 30 such particles.  Next time I clean the shower faucet, I will need to fill it with water shake and pour out the water in case such grit is in there prior to the vinegar treatment.

I will be posting photos and video when using vinegar for the shower faucet.  When I first used this, I was surprised at the blackened water that came out.  Not sure why the water was black for the first several seconds after reattaching and turning on the water.
