Further Information 

Why should you be worried about faucet attachments in healthcare settings?  From the manufactuer: "Every time a faucet is turned off a few drops of water are trapped inside the aerator (or laminar device) where they stagnate, warm up and eventually evaporate. This leaves a film of scale or source of food for biofilm. While insignificant in a residential or commercial environment, such area where bacteria could possibly thrive and multiply due to biofilm are a concern, like in healthcare facilities (hospitals, senior care, medical labs)."
