Simple question.

Can I run 2 pumps off 1 pump controller !?

[DMC Window Cleaners Ltd]

no

The Problem you will have is the current draw of two pumps

What size pumps are you using?

This is important because most controllers on the market are designed to run with 0ne 8amp pump. However run 2 x  8 amp pumps you have a maximum current draw of 16 amps which will blow the controller up.

My advice would be if you are looking to create a 2 man system have 2 controllers one for each pump

use one pump one controller and two reels if your on a budget, but make sure you use same length hoses and same type of you will get different pressure out of each on

This you can do as it gives you a two man system and avoids the amp draw problem I mentioned.

Ian,

I thimk I bought my first one from you years ago from another company which went somewhere.


Then I bought another one same model different name.

Both lived long healthy lives, then broke.
Or first broke, second was broken.

i'm being a tightwad contemplating buying pump and controller  instead of just controller.

being tight on what earns you money day in day out is madness, slap your own wrist and buy what is needed or it will cost you alot more when it breaks just once

I'm changing my digi controller if you want to buy it, I'm wanting a manual again, easier, where can one get one, as I see Williamson only do digital.

[Ian Sheppard]

The new analogue is out, the distributors have them in stock.
