In all of my faucets, there's a black slimy material that accumulates in/near the aerators. It eventually impacts the water stream and I have to move my fingers under the faucet to remove the slimy gunk. I assume it's due to manganese or bacteria.
I'm on city water so I would've thought the added chlorine would kill it. My neighbors haven't complained so I assume it's my pipes/fixtures which are brand new.
Any recommendations to solve? I've read about shock chlorination, but it's typically referenced for wells and I don't know how I would get the chlorine into both my cold and hot water pipes.
