Sounds like the water tank is empty. The pumps pressure shut off valve/switch will not work if there is not water. Other than that the only thing I can suggest is to check the filter by pump it might be clogged with debris.

The other thing to check is the filter. There is typically a cleanable filter between the tank and the pump - often times right at the pump.
