[Neil]

How high do you work with both poles running reliable Chris?

Most of my work is up to 1st floor but the pressure is good. don't think I'd have a prob up to 3/ 4 floors neil

Sweet I will see what it's saying on my system I may as well try as it probably on costs £10 for the fitting [emoji106]

See that's the sort of pressure my mate gets out of his but I just can't get mine anywhere near it even if I whack the psi and flow right up. You any idea why this would be?

No idea, perhaps your pole hose is ultra thin?

Either that or you may need a new pump...

Failing that then a dodgy controller?

hi Neil

yeah, different make to mine, but 1 female inlet splitting into 2 outlets looks the same.

are u using hoselock attachments?

It looks like u may have a barbed outlet coming out of ur DI vessel. I have an outlet which I can connect a female hoselock to. ( which is what my splitter has )

it looks like the splitter u have has a screw thread to go straight onto a tap looking at ur pic as best as I can.

so u may have to either

1. get a new splitter (hoselock) with a new DI outlet to take hoselock ( gardinerpolesystems.co.uk do them )

or

2. somehow rig something up that will allow u to connect your splitter to ur DI outlet

it'll be worth it in the end m8 however you do it !!

Will this replace the blue fitting on my resin bottle and just screw straight in to the bottle?

yes the connection on the DI vessel and the splitter are both female 3/4 bsp, so you need this 3/4" nipple to join them + PTFE tape

The problem will be once one person dead ends their pole flow the other ones pressure will shoot up. We've tried this and it is a complete pain.

New pump and controller and 2nd di can be put in for 300 save u hassle in long run
