they can come from one feed if you only have one tank.

I have both, twin feed with twin tanks, and also 1 feed for 2 pumps.

ask away, I can take a pic tomorrow if no one posts one.

Same here. Have an auto stop connector to attach to hose reel so i can remove one reel when not needed.

the outlet from the tank can either go to one pump and the the pump outlet is on a t or y connection which allows you to feed two reels
or  the tank outlet can have a t or y connection on it and this then feeds two pumps which feed there own reels

lots of people use hozelock connections from BQ,AS MENTIONED BEFORE GET THEM WITH AUTO STOP FITTED this allows you to disconnect individual pipes with out lose of water

I put bigger 1 inch outlet on tank (instead of crummy small thing it came with), split from the 1 inch pipe into 2 garden hose pipes to 2 pumps.

when 1 pump went down ran off 1 pump into T, but found it wasn't so efficient with water. but works fine for a plan b!
