Title: Hose Divider Problem
Post by: spotless2000 on September 19, 2009, 03:41:02 pm

We run two pumps that are fed from the same tank and currently use a hozelock 'Y' connector (as in the picture) to split the hose. 

This is not working very well (always drips) and I wondered if anyone could recommend a better way of dividing the hose.

Thanks ;)

put a double outlet on the tank at the mo it is single, I got mine from purefreedom ask to speak to Andrew. each pump has its own hose.

Thanks for that.

If we solve the poor sealing lid problem and this, I might have dry vans! :D

Cheers ;)
