20/22 litres/min are the upper end of submersible pumps and should deliver a reasonable shower.

I would be inclined to look for other issues, is the flow good to the basin taps? If so check the flow with the shower head removed.
Also look for a trapped/flattened pipes.

The pump in my 540 is a Reich, tank is under the front seat and the shower is right at the back and I don't have this problem.
