I have had two of these things: 

 

https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/plumb-it-tap-aerator/p/289316?srsltid=AfmBOoq0kIRru8ll5Hh8sfZpH1wm9mNnSQHNZIBlckSoNHBzBopPj5dE

 

One worked for a while and then started leaking. 

 

Bought another (not realising it was under warranty) and despite multiple efforts to install it, I can't stop it leaking. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It leaks where the metal textured ring meets the black plastic. There was an clear O ring in the packaging but no way can I get that attached with that in there. 

 

I feel a bit dumb, but hopefully, someone will have a quick idea.

Doesn't look like a garden hose, looks to be for a kitchen tap

 

 

I know it's on a kitchen tap. The garden hose reference was just something else that doesn't need bodger's tape because it already has sealing washers.

 

There should already be the original sealing washer in the mixer nozzle. There should be another seal between the black plastic end of the swivel and the chrome nut. That is likely to be where the o ring should be.
