One of the best investments under $20 you may ever make is a good low flow shower head. Shower heads from Niagara Conservation have consistently been highly regarded by the likes of Family Circle and Good Housekeeping. They deliver a great stream at around 1.5 gallons per minute. Older shower heads use as much as 5 GPM. The manufacturer says your savings can run around $91 each year in water and energy costs. You can also save 10's of thousands of gallons of water. With water emergencies appearing in places we never thought would have them, like the state of Georgia, replacing your shower head is the responsible thing to do. The company also makes low flow aerators for kitchen and bathroom faucets.

TOTO® Dual-Max™ toilets can use either 1.6 gallons per flush, or save even more water by using just .9 Gpf. A Switch on top of the toilet quickly selects either option.

HUVCO tubular skylight

Many people enjoy the natural sunlight from tubular skylights. Sunlight is brought into the living area through a highly reflective mirror-like pipe. This one is from HUVCO.

New Enzyme based drain build up removers offer a good alternative to strong chemicals.

Modern products like Drain Care Build-Up Remover from Enforcer Products "eat" the built up organic matter from the inside of traps and pipes. This means one less caustic chemical in your home to worry about if you have kids or pets. Fischer's Hardware in Springfield carries an 18 oz. container for about $11. It's good for up to 40 drain treatments. It works best used monthly to prevent build up.

Home Depot carries similar products from Zep®.
