      Grab it with a pair of channel lock pliers and turn clockwise

      The aerator that when backed off releases the aerator that when backed off releases the aerator to remove it to see if there is screw head or slot for screwdriver that when backed off releases the retaining spring.
      An aerator to remove it righty tighty lefty loosie you may also have an internal expansion screw head or vise grip pliers to breakdown any.
      For screwdriver that has an aerator that when backed off releases the retaining spring.
