Nothing to do with the type of boiler.

You need to know what the mains water pressure is that you have.

If the hot water flow rate of your boiler is enough to meet the requirements of the shower then I cannot think of a reason not to purchase the shower.

What is the flow rate from your boiler and what is the minimum flow rate needed for that shower?

As above, your mains water pressure is important to check but I'm sure it will be enough for that shower (if the maximum needed is 2 bar) but the problem is you may have a good static pressure but when 2 taps are open simulating hot and cold you could then have a low working pressure.

I'm sorry but have to disagree ..... the flow through the boiler could be say 9L/min @ 35deg rise but that could be supplied @ less than 1bar. That shower states it has a min requirement @ 1 bar but at that pressure I can guarantee that shower will have pi$$ poor performance.

I know, from experience, those panel type showers are very restrictive to flow and without a min of 2 bar dynamic and 11L/Min, they really aren't worth fitting.

Seller recommends minimum 2bar for effective use .

if your plan is to have the body jets and shower going at the same time usually the performance of these things are pretty crap
