Must for logical deduction

Hello!
I have some questions.

First,
Would you please correct sentences below if there are any errors.
1. John must be taking a shower now.
2. John must be taking a shower for an hour now.
3. John must have been taking a shower for an hour.

Second,
If I'd like to express this sentence
'I'm sure that he has been taking a shower for an hour'
by 'must' how can I make it?
He must be taking a shower for an hour now? Is this correct?

Thanks in advance
