Pump for Shower

Hi - I would be grateful for advice regarding a bathroom retrofit.

We currently have a power shower in our main bathroom on 1 st floor and a shower in an attic ensuite which receives water through a pump in our hotpress on the 1st floor. The current pump is a Grundfos STN -1.5B, max pressure seems to be 6 bar?

We now are renovating the main bathroom and would like to have a pump in the hotpress which would provide the equivalent to a power shower in the main bathroom but also can be used for pressure in the attic ensuite.

We have been told that we need to replace the pump with a "Stuart Turner 3.0 Bar pump".

1) Is it feasible to get a shower with the equivalent strength as a power shower with a pump in hotpress?
2) Is it feasible to supply both showers with the same pump even though the water tank is in the attic so the attic shower needs a negative pump (I think).
3) Does the suggested pump sound OK?

Thanks!
 
A negative head pump is required to get water up to the shower in the attic, no problems with that also supplying the main bathroom shower.

I have a Stuart Turner 2.0 pump and it can happily supply two showers on the same level at once. Even with the two running I wouldn't have mine on full. The experience in the shower will depend very much on the shower head though and the flow rate it was designed for.
