Here is some of my other van how I used the T after DI.



So Di to the T one Feed goes to the heater then then hot through red pipe to manifold.
The other pipe goes to the blue pipe cold into the manifold.
So you can chose hot or cold by just opening a tap.

For the guys that use 1 pump 2 reels, do you also have a controller? How does this handle 2 pumps?

Hi Lee

The controller will run two pumps however you would need to recalibrate the controller with both hoses running. It is possible that if the two poles are working at different heights that the pressure difference may cause the controller to DE which would cut flow to both poles.

Also the controller can handle 7.5 amps of current so running two pumps may cause the controller to shut down over this. The controllers have a over current protection ( OC ) to prevent the control burning out.

A pump running at 70% capacity is drawing around 3.5 to 4 amps this current passes through the controller so two pumps running at 70% you are close to the maximum current the controller can handle.

My advise would be to fit your spare controller to the 2nd pump.

Cheers

Ian
