FloWise Water-Saving Showerhead

Friday, October 15th, 2010


Saving water is just as important to the eco-conscious as saving energy and with this showerhead you can do both at the same time and still enjoy a wonderful shower. It has three different settings to choose from and automatically reverts to the most water efficient one after each shower. You can save up to 40% of the water you would use in a normal shower, meaning less hot water, lower water heating bills, as well as less water used overall. If you often find that you run out of hot water after your partner has taken a shower, this showerhead is the answer, stretching your hot water supply to keep you both happy. This is an affordable low flow showerhead that actually works very well and doesn’t look bad either.

Currently priced at $40.30 at Amazon.com

Collapsible Rain Barrel

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010


A rain barrel is essential for eco-friendly gardening, storing your free rain water and reducing your water bills. But they are usually very bulky and heavy items, costing quite a bit for delivery as well as in the purchase price. A collapsible rain barrel is a very affordable solution. This one stores up to 74 gallons of water and only weighs 8 lbs. It can be stored away at the end of the season to prevent problems with it freezing up in winter. There is mesh screen to keep out debris but it is not fine enough to keep the mosquitoes out too, so you may need to add another layer of screening if mosquitoes are a problem in your area. Though probably less durable than a solid resin rain barrel, this collapsible model does the job.

Costs $59.99 at Amazon.com
