Title: 2 man diy set up
Post by: jampot on May 10, 2008, 03:09:43 pm

hi guys
im going to attempt  ;D to build a diy 2man set up.
600l tank
2 100psi pumps
2 varistreams
2 100m hose

do i need two tank outlets or just 1 with like a y piece?

will i need 1 or 2 battries if so will a split relay charge the 2?
at the moment im using a trolley as a van mount could i use that battery?

and any other tips you may have  :)

thanx guys

One 100psi pump will supply two men with all the water they will need - all day.

That looks like a 4 person set up. I ran two men per van on one 100 psi pump for 2 years

Rob ;D

Never used a varistream but we have used a 100 metre and a 200 metre hose both running off the one pump. No problem at all

Rob ;D

1 poump will work fine but it is always good to have the extra pump if one goes down you still have another, I have two one per person.

you would only need one battery but is good to have a backup as I found out to my error.

One outlet from the tank to feedwater, I would take a pic for you but my van is not here, have a look on Matt's diy waterfed pole site, google it you will find all you need to know there.
