Title: 2 poles
Post by: tam north on March 15, 2012, 05:11:43 pm

Going to be running 2 poles off 1 pump and 1 controller.
Was going to fit flow vavles to poles ,is this worthwhile or when i shut off water on 1st pole will water pressure increase causing to much flow through 2nd pole.
Whats the best sollution to this .
cheers t.

I use 2 poles 1 pump setup, i dont use flow valves, just plug in and go for each one, pressure increases slightly if one unplugs...but nothing to worry about, if your working together properly you should be finishing about the same time anyway.

If youve got enough water being pumped to feed 2 poles, when you shut one off youll get the same amount trying to go through 1 pole.
Get a seperate pump and controller imo

Total agree with Steve, ran 2 poles of one pump for a yer or so, upgraded to a bigger van and got a separate pump and controller... Def better for the sake of 100 odd quid!

Thanks guys. Will go with 1 pump and if another needs added will cross that bridge later.  T.
