Title: Converting to 2 man set up
Post by: reachandshine on April 17, 2010, 02:18:40 pm

Looking to convert 1 man set to 2 man set up, how do I go about converting tank? Is there a connector to run 2 hoses from tank outlet?

What system have you got?

You need a T or Y piece.

Depending on your hose you'll get it from B & Q.

You'll need to make sure your pump is big enough, anything under 75psi is no good.

Best bet if you can is add another pump 8)

We run a 2 man system with one 100psi pump and it works fine. We've been using this system for the past 4 years with no problems what so ever.

for a y piece  go b and q,  just put it along the pipe work that goes to reel,  then just run your new pipe work to the reels
