To get enough flow to operate the flow which turns the pump on, you need a minimum "head" of water, between the shower and the tank feeding the hot water cylinder. Yours may not be enough, the solution to which is a more expensive "Negative Head" pump.
Try lowering the shower head, which might start it up.
