I run my van with a set up for Two people.

I decided from the begining to have Two seprate pumps, one for each hose reel. I run 2 x 60psi flowjet pumps. They are fine. Its an avenue you may want to pursue.

two problems - firstly run the water through the di vessel to the pump (put a strainer on the pump) and then run from the pump to the 2 reels.  secondly if you are using more than 50m microbore on each reel then there will be too much strain on the pump, also your pump should be 6ltr/min as a minimum.

Personally I'd recommend using 2 pumps and controlling them with 2 varistreams/2ecoflows

Yes all good advice on this one.

1 pump = 1 hosereel as far as I am concerned. 1 pump operating 2 reels is probably workin too hard especially with microbore and if it breaks down you have 2 people standing idle busy losing money. I keep a spare pump in each van as well in case of breakdown. Some may think this is overboard but I have found it to be very good insurance. 20 mins to change a pump if available costs far less than say 2 to 3 days waiting for a new one to arrive.
