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?

[geefree]

No..... one was 60 metres and the other 100...

god am thick

hi alex what do u use if u dont do varistreams

[Alex Gardiner]

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.
