I agree that the backwards rotation is annoying. This is what I did. I purchased the oxygenetics head, to that, I attached a quarter turn shut off immediately below that unit. In that set up, it sits in the existing holder. Then I dialed in the right hot cold mix, pulled the handles off, by removal of the center screws, and made a legible mark with a sharpie at each hot and cold handle at the top points of each handle, where you can easily view through the handle, while standing in the shower, on both the hot and cold, establishing your desired setting. That way, I have effectively dialed in a temperature that is acceptable, while in the shower (you may tweek from there). Understand that the quarter turn shut off, acts as a total flow control from the shower holder position for the times "navy showers" are in order. In effect, sending mixed temperature water as directed. The only annoying remaining issue is closing the valves (hot and cold) after the shower. In effect, the aggravation factor has been greatly reduced. Just sayin'
