If you are using your water pump and not the city fill then you should hear the pump shut off once the system is completely pressurized. I always listen for the pump to stop or listen at the hot water heater. You can usually hear the water filling up in the tank. Then I will open the faucets to finish pressurizing the lines up to the faucets. Usually wants your system is pressurized it should stay that way till you drain it. If it's not I would be checking for leaks. I had a problem where my pump would not shut off for longer then a minute or two and then it would kick back on. Come to find out the housing at the end of the pump was cracked and was leaking preasure. The pump has a pressure cut off and a check valve in it so water will not flow back into the holding tank and it shuts off when a set pressure is reached.
