If the pump is on a timer check that the clock is programmed properly. If the timer is set for on check to see if the pump is running by placing a screw driver blade against the pump casing and the hand to your ear. Turn the pump off and then on and listen for a cost down and speed up. If this is ok you have an air block in the return line. Shut off the valve between the pump discharge and the hot water tank. Hopefully the plumber installed a hose bib between the shut off and the pump. If not shut off the cold water to the hot water heater , loosen the motor bolts, place bucket under the pump, turn on the cold water and wait for the air to be purged from the return line through the pump. When the water is steady, shut off the cold water, check o-ring seating and reseal the pump. Reopen the cold water line and check for leak. Open the valve between the pump and hot water tank and you should have hot water.
