11 Gadgets That Save You Money

6) Efficient Shower Heads

Water is the most important natural resource on the planet that most of us don’t think about very often. Events like the recent droughts out west, the legal battles over who gets to tap the Colorado River and California’s water crisis have awaken many to the fact that water isn’t some magical substance we should always expect to be there. It is a finite resource, and we should treat it as such and if that isn’t enough, water costs money.

One good way to whittle down the water bill is to install a high efficiency showerhead. There are numerous brands and models available, in varying styles that will match any household decor. Just one of these can save an average household 15,000 gallons of water a year. The savings apply to more than just water as that is 15,000 gallons that doesn’t have to get heated by the water heater.
