Another shower pump prob

We moved to our present house nearly 3 years ago and the shower pump (NewTeam Varispeed) has worked faultlessly all that time. However, on Friday it started playing up....starts OK, pressure is good but then drops off! What could be wrong, any chance of fixing it or do I need to get a new one?!?

Check your hot water hasn't got too hot. Below 60.

Thanks Chris.

Just checked and the thermostat was dead on 60. So the thermostat could be on the blink(?) or the pump is getting sensitive in it's old age(?)!!

Try it cooler.
Pumps cause cavitation (water vapour as in boiling) in water over about 60.
