Pressure problems

[Magic Touch]

Hi guys! I picked up a unit with Prochem Legend GT. It was working pretty ok but now the pressure starts off strong but ag=fter a bout 5 minutes it starts to flutter and dies down. Im pretty sure the last owner did not do great maint on it. Any ideas what might
be the issue?
Thanks!

Go fish! You've given absolutely no information to help you, so after taking a moment to think about your problem, i have come to the conclusion "it is broken " air in pump?? Worn-out pump plunger seals?? Cracked or plugged inlet hose?? Clogged filter screen ??Chemical pump?? Chemical meter air leaks/ chemical eaten fittings?? Low water in waterbox?? Broken or damaged brass fittings?? Unloader failure?? Your gunna need to give a little more info to get a better answer. I never had kids so when a baby cries i have no idea whats wrong i can check the diapers, look for bleeding and feed um but till they can talk and say where it hurts thats about all i can do

Also, at idle it seems ok but when idled up to speed it only work for a few minutes then starts to have good pressure first trigger squeeze then then pressure drops quite a bit
you think the bypass may be an issue?
