Get yourself a 100PSI pump. They are usually cheaper than the lower pressure ones.

Also get 1 pump per man. With 2 working from 1 pump you will be pushing it too hard. It will be far more likely to fail and you could well get flow problems. Another thing is if 2 are working form 1 pump and it does fail it means neither can work until its fixed or replaced.

There is a very good deal on 100PSI Shurflo pumps on the PureFreedom website.

definately 1 pump per man, i would NEVER go down the route of using y-peices etc as the amount of time you'll spend sorting out problems far outweighs the cost buying a second pump.

What size leisure battery would you use to run 2 pumps?

(Sorry to hijack thread, but question may be relevant)

75aH will be plenty, TBH leisure batteries are not really needed unless you do large jobs where you have both pumps running for hours on end.
