We just use a half inch hose splitter, one battery, one pump without a varistream and two hose reels. We find that the available pressure is just right for both poles but when using unequal length hoses the shortest hose will have the highest pressure.

you can combat this by fitting an inline tap before hose reel on the one that pumps more and setting them equal no matter what the length hose per reel

EandM can i ask do you have to up the flow rate on the controller when running two poles?
ive got a spare full setup ready to go in my next van but if just using a simple hose splitter works a treat i may go down that route!

Yes we run two poles from one pump, just increase pressure when doing so

We used a y fitting off one pump, it did not work, you need two pumps
