Yes - it's plenty powerful enough for most applications. Use a hose splitter. That's all I know so don't ask me anymore!

We also run two poles from an Ionics pump which is just a ShurFlo pump which costs more.

Seems to work fine.

Cheers

Would i have to use an electic flow controller on each one or because at the moment i only use a bypass system to control flow at the brush head and that varies depending on what height i need. Thanks a lot.

I was told you need two seperate varistreams for each pump or is this just sales pitch?

yes you need a pump and a controller for each pole ,the reason being if one pole was operated higher than the other or one hose was longer than the other the water would find the path of least resistance therefor one pole would have a lot higher flow than the other or non at all.
