On a 2024 Isata 3 is the bathroom sink aerator removeable? I gave it a hard twist with no luck and don't want to put tools on it if it is not removeable. (Winterizing)
 
A photo of the faucet would be helpful.
There's so many different ones used.

Why do you want to remove the aerator to winterize?
 
Old habits from 24 years of motorhome winterizing. Some aerator have been known to hold water and crack when they freeze. Safer to spend the 2 minutes to remove.
 
I replaced my bathroom faucet in my 2000 Southwind with a bathroom faucet from Lowes. It came with a special plastic prong tool to remove the aerator.

Same problem trying to remove aeroators. I think mine have some junk in them. Nearly destroyed the kitchen faucet trying to get it out.
 
Any aerator should be removable/replaceable. I remove mine a couple times a year to clean out any sediment and also keeps them from sticking. A little plumbers silicone grease on the threads will also help.

I hear what you’re saying, however, I use RV antifreeze and when it flushes through the system at each tap, it displaces water, and I’ve never had them freeze and crack.
 
Aerator tool assortment. Less than $10 at Home Depot.
