Re: aerator fuse keeps blowing .

Apparently either you pinched a wire somewhere shorting out the power line, or the aerator itself failed you. Seems pretty straight forward.

If you can unplug the aerator at the aerator unplug it. If the fuse doesn't blow again, then it's the aerator. Otherwise chase your wiring till you find where it got pinched.

It's probably time to replace the pump. Pull it out and look at it before you buy a new one though, you may have trash in your impeller.
