yes it is, get a 3 way adapter and plug in the hoses to it, hoselock do them.

I am guessing you have a 100psi pump.

[alanwilson]

you can but flow rate is rubbish, I'd go one pump per pole

[geefree]

Thanks,

will try the 3 way...ian...

but i thought flow would be ok as it blasts out above number 2 alan.

cheers lads.

I know someone that has three people from one pump, but thats another story

[geefree]

yes 100 psi 

[geefree]

cant see why not, just make the connection at the end

[jaykie]

wouldnt that be annoying sharing the same reel as you would both have to work in the same area instead of 1 doing front and the other doing back.

I think if you split it central... or .... oh no sod that lol... its too complicated and when one man wants to use it alone , it would be a mess. 

[jaykie]

lol get 2nd pump and hose

I run 2 reels off one pump with a varistream.  With a y peice in line after the pump to feed both reels and a shut off valve on one reel.  The flow rate is good until the battery gets low.  If you need I'll dig out a picture as I have probably confused you, I dont really understand myself at times.

[TVCS]

The green thing is the shut off valve to my second hose reel.

It dont look that professional but it works a treat.

buy a flojet, 100psi, was using it for two man last week, and we used alot of water and most of the time we were both using it at the same time, no flow problems or pressure worked and treat, and you will save yourself £30 rather than needing too buy a pump and varistream

[TVCS]

I must admit that i prefer the flojet.   I had one before the shurflo.  We used that for 18months with no varistream with no pressure problems.  The shurflo works ok but with the varistream it has taken longer to get used to, what with changing the setting on the varistream etc.

I work with 2 people, both with 100 metre microbore hoses from 1 pump (100 psi Flojet, fitted with a tuned 60 psi pressure switch).  I simply put a splitter after the pump which connects to two hose reels.  Provides plenty of flow for both operators with minimum fuss and is also very reliable.

thanks for all your helpful replies,...luckily i have a very good window cleaning.. new friend in chris...(. whos employee fell in the pond) 

who came down to my house tonight and helped sort me out,, brilliant.. who could ask for more than that..... EXTREMELY HELPFUL GUY

and did what most of you advised...

TVCS.  what sort are those white connectors which clip your hoses to the van..

cheers.,

[TVCS]

I got them from my local plumb center.  Just 15mm pipe clips.  You'd get them from B&Q and the like I'd expect.  Cheap but they work a treat.
