Wanting to convert the van into a 2 person setup.

Ended up getting the big school job, the money is great but they've told me it usually takes 2 of them 3-4 days. Meaning realistically it'll take me 8.
I need a second set of everything anyways for spares so I'm thinking of making the van a 2 person setup just so when I get bigger jobs and need help, I can get it without having to source the work out. (Wife will jump on with me)

I'm hoping I don't have to add a second outlet into the tank, but rather use a spitter. Is this possible, has a quick look online and does something like this look like the right fitting? If not does anyone have suggestions.

Just need a tee piece out of tank to filter then to 2 pumps. The fitting you show would be OK, maybe not best quality but should be OK - taps might be handy as you can shut one feed off to replace a pump. If you have a tap on your tank outlet it might be worth just going for a simple tee piece to split the outlet to 2 pumps.

A second person setup makes sense as then you have a complete backup when you are on your own.

This is what I've got coming straight from the tank. Would it be a T piece connecting straight into this? And do you know where to get a good quality one?

This was done in 2006, and it's the exact same system I have in operation on my current van. We can run both pumps normally without starving either pump of water.

Tee piece somewhere between the picy and your existing pump. Not sure of a decent one, I think B&Q actually sell 1/2" tee pieces along with hose.

Yes they do. This is where my components originally came from. I still like to go into a shop and look at what I want.
