Never had this before, but if it is not leaking water it will probably be the valve at the end of the filling tube.

Much of the time there is simple fix, although not permanent because the system is just not made to hold pressure forever. Check the condition of the tube where it connects to the bottle. The tube dries out where it has been stretched over the nipple, so trim off a cm or so and reconnect it. If this works the bottle should retain its pressure much longer. Hope this helps.

Install one of these in the system and then you won't have to worry about losing pressure.

You can adapt your switch to run it without destroying the front of the switch, retains the look.
Just make sure the motor is installed below the bottle as it works on gravity.
Don't remember who did the original but if you use the search mode your bound to find it.
