Is there any way to fix a shower's water mixer if the HOT/COLD are switched?
When you turn the knob to the left, it initiates cold water and to the right is hot. Basically it's backwards and seems that the original plumber or installer connected hot to cold and visa versa. The catch here is that it is a "stand up" shower, so I cannot access the wall behind the water mixer w/o removing the entire shower unit (basin?). If it's possible to correct this, I would prefer to, as guests are constantly fighting the mixer. Thanks!
If it is a Moen all you need to do is turn the cartridge 180 degrees. Some other brands are also switchable. If that isn't the case you will need to access the valve from one side of the wall or the other and replumb it. If you are not a plumber you might want to call one.

Spa Hot Tub by Samantha Stewart
Hot tub spas are a great solution for those who are deciding about getting a small spa that does not use much energy or also are not convinced of the benefits of the ownership entirely.
Small hot tubs can be placed almost anywhere, but an outdoor location near the rear exit of a home is one of the best places to put the spa. Having it outdoors means not having to worry about indoor condensation or venting. Some spas like the Riviera found at Spa Sauna Direct, comes with a plug and play power cord with built-in GFCI cord. This means the spa is just put in place, filled with a garden hose and plugged into a standard 120 volt power outlet.
The great thing about most spas is that they are plug and play, which means they plug into a standard electrical outlet and don't require costly electrical installation. The supplied power cord contains a GFCI which is a necessary safety feature anytime electricity is near water. Bathroom sockets in most homes are also required by code to have a built in GFCI. With the electrical hookup being so simple, simply fill with water and allow the spa to heat up to temperature.
Once the hot tub is up to temperature, remove the supplied cover and let the hydromassage benefits begin. Relax tired back and shoulder muscles and feel better. Some hot tubs such as the SpaSaunaDirect Dream Star model are deep enough to sit in with shoulders completely covered. Especially when using it outdoors, this is preferred to shallower spa like tubs where shoulders may be exposed to cold air.
Spas are actually hot tubs and not bath tubs, so they keep the water heated and ready for a hot tubbing session anytime. A cover helps keep the spa water warm when not in use. A sanitizer such as bromine or chlorine is used to keep the water free of bacteria. The water can be changed every 2-3 months in the smaller spas with the automatic filtration cycle taking care of water filtering and cleaning duty.
The Dream Star model has enough hydromassage jets for a great relaxing hot tub session for one or two people. Although a hot tub is not really a party spa (party for one!), it provides the necessary quiet time, relaxation and relieves stress and muscle tension. Two persons can use it at the same time for a cozy experience.
