Hi, does anyone know if 2 people can work off one hose reel if I put a splitter in near the house to 2 poles? I would get a 100psi pump and we can work near to eachother. I'm just starting out and my wife will do some downstairs you see. Will it work? And I dont mean working with my wife! ;)

I think it would be a right pain to be honest..hoses tangling and you tripping over each other :(
I would get another hosereel and split it that way..it will work fine with a 100 psi pump
-
it will work, but I would get 2 pumps either way, so if one breaks you have a spare.
maybe get your wife a back pack that could be an idea for you.

you will only get half of the pumps flow, when both are being used, better to have 2 pumps and 2 reels.

it doesnt really work i tried it this way when i first started out its like walking two dogs off the one lead always pulling against each also i always do the tops first giving them time to drip before i do the bottems if two are on the tops they are still dripping when you are doing the bottems

My brother works with me every now and again so I set this up the other day...
The male end plugs into my vans outlet hose, and then the two female ends can be used to plug into seperate hose reels, all working off of one pump.
It works really well, the only thing is that I have to increase my digital varistream to about number 7 and then when one of us turns our hose off the other gets a really fast flow - It means I can tell when he's slacking though! ;)
