Dead easy so long as you can access the car tyre type valve to top it up.
When the system is completely depressurised, check the pressure in the EV and pump it up (car foot pump, bike pump etc) up to 10 psi.
Repressurise the system with the filling loop.
If you notice water at the EV valve, the diaphragm has split and you'll need a new EV.
If your pressure continues to drop, I'm afraid you have a leak somewhere....
