Lets say you have one watercooler and two TIG machines. Is there anyway they could be run sharing a common watercooler???
Seems to me that if you had a female fitting that you could run two torches in series.

Hey,
Will they run at the same time? if so you would need more water flow and volume? Can help besides that.

Series is fine only if both torches are not used at the same time, and you will have less flow for increasing the amount of "stuff downstream".
Parallel is a better option. Most pumps can easily handle at least two torches in parallel. Sometimes the fan can't keep up on smaller units when both torches are blazing, though.
Two cents...

Cool,
Maybe you could put a y tap on the out of the tank so that its not flowing through both torches when one is off. You would have to remeber to switch from one to the other though.
