The trouble is that as the demand for water varies on any one of the poles the pressure on the other pole goes up and down.

Its like when you are having a shower upstairs and somebody downstairs turns on the hot tap.

I used to run 1 100psi  pump, 2 same reels and same hoses and same pencil jets.
And no probs at all.
I'm still using the same pump 4 years later.
It's got to break now I've said that. ::)

We also ran 2 reels off of one pump with no problems at all. Digital Varistream on number 5 or 6.

It really isnt that noticable, if theres 2 of you working at same time you should pretty much be turning on and off at same time, and if one of you finishes before you get slightly more pressure for a short while, no biggie. Works a treat, do it ;)
