    Several things could cause this.
    1) you could have a underground leak in the main or branch lines.
    2) A sprinkler head could have come loose and ism losing both water and pressure.
    3) It could be a volume problem. Good pressure to start and then slowly loses pressure. **OR**
    It could be as simple as a partially closed valve. I would check the pressure zone by zone to localize the source of the pressure loss/. Good luck. Tom
