I have mine split with a T piece and then hose going to the inlet of each pump from the T piece splitter. I've never had any problems with it. Are you getting air locks? Try to make sure the pumps are low down. It helps if everything is at the same level as the outlet on the tank.

I've got the same on mine, I used a 3/4' plastic equal T and screwed in 16mm barb fittings for each feed pipe. The garden hose needs stretching a little bit to fit on. It's probably a bit overkill as the 12/13mm fittings seem to be ok from what everyone else says, it just gives a larger outlet feed for both pipes and both of my pumps are down as low as possible in the van to minimise any air lock problems.

two of my vans are set up like above , one tank , one t , going to two pumps which are above the wheel arch never had a problem with them , the hose we use for piping is garden style hose

my van as two tanks in it as a wanted 1200 lt in mine so theres two tanks linked up , both run into one t which means two tanks are now down too one pipe then theres a second t spiting them back too two pipes one for for each pump

works great even when nearly empty , they both leavel down the same when using them , and if you fill just one tank up with in ten mins that one as back filled the other until its the same

I did it this way as I didn't want to have to worrie about one tank using more water then the other as if you have a quick guy using more water then the other guy his tank will dead quicker which mean your two man is down to one man very quick again both pumps are above the wheel arch

wow what a mess you have there

first thing I would do is pull all that rubbish out and start again , first thing I would do leavel the pumps as the lower one is getting the lions share of the water . bin off that thin white pipe and all that thin yellow rubbish and have a nice simple t and bigger garden type hose which will hold more water for the pumps to draw because you not getting a lot of natrul flow like that

buy not having tight corners and having a nice loop of wide pipe the water will flow easyer for the pumps to draw on never been a fan of them rubbish filters either.

never had them fitted to anything ive run again some will say you need them but you don't , ive only been use these things for over 25 year long befoure wfp started in the carpet cleaning trade

not kine of them pumps either they would be bin food and replaced with better ones sorry to be so blunt but if your running two men then spend some cash on your set up its what you earn with and needs to be as good as you can

What Noddy said! [emoji1303] also your yellow hose before top pump looks kinked. I have a stainless steel manifold rather than a tee. So much neater.

It's simple. Lower the pump down and get rid of yellow pipe. The John guest is fine. Just get a 1/2 inch. Screw on connector for the pumps. Wat size of pipe is that ? I use 22mm John guest then 15 MM. after the pump

The white pipe is 15mm if I change it to 22mm and put a t on the bottom pipe to feed the first pump and get the fittings for the pumps do u think that would be ok
