im going to set up for 2,       which   is the most reliable and leak proof  connection to split up the hose to use 2 pumps from the water tank hose,       are the  plastic hozelock any good or is a   brass Y splitter best like the one below

he will only be helping the odd weekend,      shall i attatch up to main leisure battery, so 2 pumps and controllers all set-up to main leisure battery 110 amp or just use a  van battery i have  in the shed for him to connect upto.

Am i right in thinking it will use no power if left hooked up to main leisure battery when its not used. but still hooked up.

get 2nd controller+pump tuesday to set-up

i have a citroen dispatch new shape,  if anyone has any pics of a 2 man set-up that would be great,    or email me for ideas  cheers

We just used the plastic hoselock Y splitter; it's been working for about four years now.   I do jubilee clip everything though.

what about something like this 1 into 4?

top one is spare, middle 2 are to two pumps, bottom is just a gravity feed to fill up backpack, bucket etc

If you want leak proof then I would suggest going for john guest fittings. More expensive but you have the ability to replumb and reuse easily.  You have 2 pumps so the Y connection will be on the negative  pressure side of the pumps so there for less likely to leak.

i was speaking to a windy today, he has 2 pumps,    he just feeds them both by dropping the 2 feed hoses into his 900 ibc tank.    no tap at all, just fed straight to pump from inside ibc tank,
