Wont always pump the hot water

If my water is hot, the pump seems to strugle pumping it through to the shower and i have to keep turning the shower off and on until it primes the pump. Is there a temp limit the pump can handle or is there a fault?

Firstadvice is to make sure that the inlet filters on the pump and showervalve areclean and clear.

Thewater temperature should not be above 60°C if the temperature gets above 65°then you can get aeration in the pump (The pump chamber will fill with air dueto the action of the pump) if the pump housing fills with air then it can’t pumpwater.
