Title: Is it possible to run two poles off one hose?
Post by: Jakey boy on January 23, 2015, 04:05:48 pm
Is there a way a second pole can be used from the same hose? Can a split connector be put in somehow?

A split connector can be setup in either Ez-Snap Rectus fittings / PRO 26 / or 1/2 hose couplings on the end of the reel hose, and then you plug two poles into it.

However, obviously it will result in two pole users sharing the pressure / flow rate and its more complicated to work with as you have two people working very close together.

Hope that helps,

I have been running 2 reels from one pump for years

Yes it does work but ideally you need to be working at the same height...which isnt impossible. If you dont one whose working below gets all the pressure and the top one gets very little to nothing.

Water always flows the easiest way  ;)

I tried this but found pressure at the top of the poles wasn't very good, may have been my pump tho so give it a go. I get all my bits like that from circuit hydraulics search them on eBay. Nice guy his name is Richard
