Our shower water flow seems to be less than previous times.A l.5 ltr bottled took 32 seconds on existing pump and 35 seconds on spare pump . Does anyone know whether this would be satisfactory?. Thanks.

What was it previously? Check for any filter/strainer blockages. Whats it like from the caravan taps? Could it be limescale or crud in the shower head, remove it and see if its clean.
From work that I did over twenty years ago, I recall that many pumps would only manage about 3L per min through the shower so your results are not unusual.
Some people may try to tell you that pumps have a flow rate of 6 to7Litres per min, but that is measured with no outflow head head height, and submersible pumps are quite sensitive to head height or back pressure.
Thank you for answers, the reading I did was from the shower hose at approx 70 cm high,the head was not attached.
