Title: Running 2 poles
Post by: craig jwc on October 12, 2006, 09:52:10 pm

Can anyone tell me is it possible to run 2 wfp's from 1 100psi Shurflo pump?

I am looking at having someone work with me after christmas if i keep taking on more work.

I am using 6mm microbore hose with Varistream and 2mm jets in brushes if that makes any difference.

Cheers for any replies

More than likely.

You can run two poles from one of Peter Fogwill's trolleys. Mine had a 60psi pump.

You will have to be very careful there craig , running two poles will mean you will have to be extra alert when closing the van doors , when your havin one of your  little paddies you dont want to shut them in the door again do you  ;D

Yeah you can run two wfp's from a 100 psi pump.

We do this every day using 6mm micro bore cut down to 50m and everything scrubs up fine.

We run 2x 100 meters of microbore hose, off of a 100psi Flojet. No problems at all and a great flow rate. (I think that the flojet has a slightly higher flow rate than the Shurflo)

Just a quick question, when one person is cleaning top windows and the other bottoms, then the person doing the bottoms moves to next house and starts tops. Do you not find there is a decrease in water pressure to both when both doing tops? ???

If so how is this rectified? Thinking of using 2 poles maybe after xmas

1 pole 1 pump, no probs so buy 2 pumps and you then also have a "spare"
