I don't understand everything being asked, so add a comment any time.

Problem1 is excessive electric bill.
Suspect is new 120Volt Taco recirculation pump.
Look at motor nameplate for amps and watts and HP. Taco pump is usually robust 1/3 HP which is 252 watts or same as running four 60 watt light bulbs.
If pump runs 18 hours per day x 252 watts = 4536 watts or 4.5 Kilowatts per day
Buy a kill-o-watt meter that plugs into outlet, and plug Taco pump into the meter for 48 hours.
This will give you total watts used for that time period.
1000 watts = 1 kilowatt.
Electric bill is probably 12 to 20 cents per kilowatt.
So if Taco uses 4.5 kilowatts per day, that is $.54 to $.90 per day multiplied by 30 days.
So cost is $15 to $30 per month.

Problem2 is Taco runs too long.
Taco operates either by thermostat or by timer. You choose which mode by using slide switch that is usually located under the timer dial. Set switch to TIMER to use timer, and ON to use thermostat, and off to turn TACO off.
If Taco is set for thermostatic operation, the Taco might be defective. Or there could be crossover problem at single handled faucet.
Another problem could be air in the water line: install air vent.

Your question is very big because recirculation systems have a lot of parts and options.

Please open following link for re-circulation system resources that show pictures of how the system works. After reading information, add a comment with more questions.

The page shows two different types of Taco timers. One timer is programmable and the other timer is called analog timer where the timer dial rotates just like a clock. Small pins located on dial face are set inward or outward. As the dial rotates, the pins move a tiny on-off lever that turns the pump on-off. The pump can also be set to operate thermostatically. You choose either timed operation or thermostatic operation using slide-switch located under timer dial.

Look at, and read information on link above. Try some things on your timer so you are familiar. And then add a comment with specific description of your Taco timer, and include what you have done so far.

Usually when these motors slow down, they get hot and burn out.
You can try taking it off and cleaning with CLR, but normally when they stop working, they do not revive.
I am not sure what the warranty policy is from Taco, or if Taco has a parts list.

I think following link takes you to the Taco website:
You can contact them for warranty/parts information

Adjust dial to the correct time. Pivot the white pins out to have the pump work during that time. In other words not just one pin, but all the pins from say 6am to 8am. Was a bit confused the first time I saw this set up as well. Good luck

i have a password for my messages on my phone so no1 can look at them but i have forgotten the password. any cheat or ANYTHING any advice for me on what to do?

Do they run at the same time? The two items consume
a lot of power. Check the voltage when they are turned on. If the voltage is below 90 Volts. The power surge at your Taco is great. Then, the surge protector could not
handle the current inrush that's why it's blown off. You
must install a surge protector that can handle the Taco
current inrush.
