I had the same issue since last year. Two reels at the same time means more flow. I'm working now with
two pumps, and two electronic controlers. No more drops on the flow. The big test was last monday.

Yes, one pump one water supply, one hose and one brush, no problems.

Pressure and flow are 2 different things, at 200psi you'll blow all your fittings off.  Best to have 2 pumps even if 1 pump can do it, because if you have pump failure you will still be able to do something.

You can do it but it does restrict your flow, mine at the moment is set up for two from a single pump, but I do have a valve on the smaller length of hose so I can balance things out when I need help.

you must have been the first pwerson in the UK to have wfp then  ;D


Joking apart, I know a guy that runs 2 people from one pump even three people. I would get another pump just as a back up if your going to do this cheap route because if it goes down and it will you lose min a days work if not more. for £150 I would get another pump and control you have a back up already in use this way  ;)
