Hey everyone I have been looking into expanding my business and taking on another employee to PW full time with me but I need a little help understanding if this setup is possible with my machine.

I have a 4 GPM 4000 PSI 13 HP Honda engine machine (search EB4040HC) and I would like to add a splitter on it to run two wands in order to do decks much faster. Is this even possible considering the GPM that I am running?
 
Spring for another small machine. You don't need near 4000 psi for decks. You would be rinsing with the same amount of water so you probably wouldn't be much faster with two guys at half the gpm. Look on craigslist for a 4 gpm 3000 machine, and buy some oversized nozzles. Remember...with decks the cleaner does 90% of the work and the pressure washer is really a pressure rinser. So the more rinsing power you have the faster it will go.
 
You nailed it Ralph. Rinse time would more than double at half flow.
 
Thanks all I appreciate that the help!
