Ok, never taken much notice of two man set ups because so far I've had no need.
So, I have spare pumps and controllers anyway so do you guys use twin pumps and controllers or what?

[Lee GLS]

Just use one pump, one controller and supply two reels.  Before we went hot we had 2 pumps and controllers, but changing to LPG hot water we were only able to use one pump and it works fine.

Ditto!

[Dave Willis]

Is that it? Just stick a 'Y'  piece in the pipe to reels?

i personally feel two pumps, two controllers  is the better way.
I use a split relay charger to too two batteries feeding two controls and two pumps and never have any trouble,

Works for us

[Lee GLS]

Yep.

But, it you like a high flow now, above 50, then you will not get the same flow with 2 reels even if you run it flat out.

We run our controller at. 85 for the 2 reels

Get 2 backpacks, to fill the backpacks quickly get a 1" tap valve fitted from the outlet of your tank

[Window Washers]

We use two of each, if one breaks down use a y connector as a temp fix so can keep working, simple

You taking on some hired help Dave?

[Dave Willis]

Not exactly l'm snowed under with work just can't cope any more with all the add ons. So my son would give me a hand Saturdays especially with the gutter cleans. I have been passing all new work on for about six months now but all my old conservatory roof jobs are popping back up and l just don't have the time or energy to do them. He has his own profession so wouldn't be there in the week.

[Lee GLS]

If it's only an odd sarurday thing then definitely use 1 pump and split to 2 reels.

[koopmaster]

In the same position, got too much work now and falling behind.

I setup my 2 man system this afternoon.  (should have taken a picture)

I have 1 pump and controller and 2 reels and they are split with a Y piece pile.

I have a hose-lock female pipe which can either go into 1 reel or a double male piece so I can quickly change to a 2 man setup and have both reels up and running in about 20 seconds. 

Best of both worlds.

[Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny)]

So Im safe expanding the empire toward your place then

[Frankybadboy]

Dave if I was you I would add the extra pump and controller

2 reasons one set up goes though your hot system and the other just straight cold system

and 2nd reason if you get a pump with any bit of the first system then straight away you just switch on the other,that way no down time waiting for parts,or even trying to put a new pump on while trying to work.

I use 2 pumps to 2 DI vessels, no controlers.
I found the flow too low with two hoses on one pump.
