You need to add a splitter so that your one hose from your pump can feed two hose reels. You can do this in two ways:
1. Fit an in-line 13 mm Y piece or T piece with two separate 1/2" hoses from it, each one ending in a hozelock end stop connector.
2. Plug a hozelock 3-way male connector into the female hozelock end stop on the end of your current 1/2" hose. Make up two hose lengths with a hozelock connector on one end and a hozelock end stop connector on the other. This will also allow you to plug into two hose reels.

HI.
Alex , i did the first of your suggestions , and it worked fine....
but dont you find when you have the varistream on , say , number 3.... that one pole has a more powerful flow than the other....
i could not get it right.... i had a lad on the downstairs whilst i did tops...
to get mine just right i had to whack the setting up to number 5.... and the dowstairs pole was far too powerful , with water spraying all over the lad.
i tried to turn his inline tap down.... but it meant messing with his tap all day....
and that was the reason i bought the varistream in the first place... to eliminate trying to control water with tap.
what do you think, Alex.?
any suggestions ;)

I don't do varistreams! Were you using the same length hose as usually this is what causes the imbalance?
-
No..... one was 60 metres and the other 100...
god am thick ;D

hi alex what do u use if u dont do varistreams

I use the Flojet matched to my system.
100 psi Flojet (tuned pressure switch), 2 x microbore hose reels. Gives me exactly the flow rate I want with no complications.
