This device is typically used to feed water into a heating system whenever the pressure drops below a set pressure setting, so it is unlikely. You may have a pressure reducing device where the water enters the building which often has an adjustable pressure feature. This device setting would effect the pressure throughout the house including to the shower.
It is recommended to install this pressure reducing valve in a horizontal position, in the cold water supply pipe to the boiler.
This pressure reducing valve includes a check valve to prevent system water from backflowing and draining the entire system in the event of pressure failure on the incoming water line.
