Can I add an additional hose so to utilize 2 sprayers at one time, I know this may bring down the pressure some, any thoughts and if I can how do I do it?

Has anyone ever ran two pressure washers from the same house? Does it drop the pressure at all?

I want to use the telescoping wand for upper washing and utilize the standard wand for lower washing, two people working here. I'm trying to accomplish more work in a shorter amount of time and just am excersizing some options, but not sure with out actually doing it...

I don't think so. I've been thinking of buying another Pw just for that reason. Been looking at belt driven machines ....

..you cant attach multiple hoses with that machine
or did you mean a drop in pressure in the water supply if there are two machines running ...hmmm I'm sure there would abe a drop off ...then you could run into some issues with the water supply and the run off ... some good threads here about re-capturing water and laws

What about a 2 way quick disconnect at the pump? I think that may want to work the pump more than it should.... probably not good ey?

I have another Pressure washer and will try using both on one house and see how that works.

I would like to see my partner or I doing work at the same time. Washing the house and driveway at the same time. Be in and out in an hour instead of an hour and a half - 2. I'm trying to build up a quick and efficient system for washing homes prior to painting. I scheduled 2 homes for today and 2 for tomorrow.... I am for sure we could have gotten all 4 done today. Since nothing else was lined up and a holiday weekend coming we didn't push the issue...

It can be done but you need to start with a larger flow machine (gpm). The pressure stays the same, it is the flow that gets split. Flow is what cleans. I know a ton off guys that have split off machines and 75% of them say that one gun at higher flow was faster than 2 guys. Here is a custom machine I had built. It is a 10gpm machine, dual gun setup with 1400 psi.

The hose reel with the orange hose is a separate pump and actually makes this particular rig a three man.

We have run two machines at the same time at the same house and we burned out one of the pumps. The house was on a well and I don't think we were getting enough water to the pumps.

Yep.
Most household water supply can have a tough time sustaining over 4 GPM to a pressure washer--and the water supply from wells can vary a BUNCH.

Over 4GPM, it's time to get your own tank and a pump that will provide positive pressure to the pressure washer.
