[QUOTE="alchemist, post: 182106, member: 11875"] Don't pay to future proof it unless you think you will want to put an electric shower in for yourself, let buyers pay for an upgrade if they want it. No one buys a house thinking 'that's wired in 10mm, great because I wanted to change the power shower to an electric shower'. If you already have a hot and cold feed you may as well stick with power showers, much cheeper to run. I've got an electric, which I wired in 10mm. 10mm is a pain in the arse. It took me three back boxes before I managed to get the isolator fitted, I just couldn't get it all in the back box without making bigger holes than they're supposed to have and that weakened them so they broke when screwing in.
