Title: can i run 2 wfp of 1 pump
Post by: wightsurf on April 20, 2006, 06:37:11 pm

is it posible to run two WFP of off one pump and does anyone know how to do this if possible?? I am thinking that i would need some sort of Y connector to run the 2 poles  of the hose.
I have a 100 psi pump

Regards
Martin

It is possible, depends on how many Liters per min your pump is rated at, you'd need at least 4 Lpm. You have to turn the flow on the pump up as it needs to pump twice as much for 2 poles as for one, and then when one turns off the flow to his pole the other suddenly gets more water through his pole.

I've got a 100 psi pump, either Flojet or Shurflo but I can't remember. The y connectors came from B&Q, Homebase or any garden centre.
