I was checking the specs for the Girard GSWH-1M. What I see is the BTU rating is only 18,000 to 38,000. The L5 water heater that I have is only rated at 5 liters per minute, and 37,000 Btu's gas supply. So I can not get more than about 95 F water out of my 37,000 Btu heater at only about 1.5 gallons per minute flow.
I am filling a 100 gallon tank, aiming for 80 - 90F water, so I really don't care if flow is less than 2 GPM. However IF I was taking a shower, I don't think I would like water that is only warmed from 45 to 90F at 2 GPM, and know I will not like a 1 GPM or less shower.
So it will be interesting to hear how well it all works out. Perhaps you can fill the fresh water tank with some hot water, then use it to take a long and warm shower.
Good luck!
