Im wondering if you had enough water to run two 4gpm machines from one water source?
Can you split two pw's from one hose?

Only if you have a guaranteed water supply of at least 8.5gpm or more which I doubt you will get.
Most houses will not have that and most commercial places will not have that sometimes.
Your best bet is just spend some money and buy another supply hose so each machine has it's own hose and be done with it so you don't burn up a machine.

we run a tsf2021 8gpm pump. I almost never have a problem with the water supply. But I do have a 500 gal tank so it's not like we are totaly dependant on the customers water supply.

If you have the water supply or a tank like Carey you should be fine. Come off the tank with the largest line you can and split it to a 1" or 3/4" line for each unit. I have 2- 5.6 gpm units setup this way.

I have hooked up a Y at the customers water spigot and ran 2 - 4gpm machines off of it many times but there have been times where it wasn't enough. Many newer homes have water savers on their outside water spigots now which greatly reduces the flow. Here in Pinellas County Florida where I live they drop the water pressure down everyday around 10:30am. I had noticed it on many jobs and my suspicions were confirmed when I spoke to someone on the fire dept. I'm hooking 2- 4gpm machines together in another week or so with a buffer tank. I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

I have a 500 gal tank and 2 5.5 gpm machines..I always draw from my tank with the water supply flowing into the tank while I am working.....I have had time where (when the tank got low) that it was hard for the water supply to even keep up with what I was pulling from the tank. On a few occasions I had to stop and allow the tank to get ahead again........I think the water supply was low at these joints!
