My friend is planning on fitting a large shower head, which comes with a hose. I'm thinking the shower itself (that is, the electric box on the wall) has to be designed to let more water through? I've never tried such a thing, as a normal head is fine for me.

I remember your brother Jimmy, crying one summer's day,
"Why do you cry, young Jimmy?" I heard your granddad say.
"'Cause I can't do what the big boys do, that's why I cry," said Jim,
"Move over then," said your granddad, and he sat down and cried with him.

It'll be a case of suck it and see.

It shouldn't be if the flow rate that the shower can produce and the
flow rate required by the head are known. They need to more or less
match.

An electric shower will be pushed to do 5l/min if the shower head
requires 10l/min you are either going to get a cool shower or if you
restrict the flow down to 5l/min a disappointing shower.

I've just fitted a larger shower head to an electric shower - the head was
described as suitable for an electric shower.

It gives a much broader, softer shower but the shower spray doesn't project
out as far from the wall bracket into the shower area so it is not liked by
my Lady Wife.
To be most effective it would need to be mounted more or less vertically
above the shower area so it showered straight down, instead of being mounted
to the side.
The old shower head is going back on, and the new one going into 'stock' for
some future opportunity.

With a limited flow rate such as you get from an electric shower you can
either have a small powerful spray or a broad gentle spray - but you won't
get a broad powerful spray.
