Have changed cer pump and gas control valve on hot water heater


Sounds like you're, possibly, not letting the hot water run enough. The recirculator just does the best it can do without running all of the time. The water will cool before the recirculator's thermostat reinitiates the circulation. You may need a new recirculator or simply need to readjust its setting.
