I really agree with
Dave on all points. The inlet is way too small for two towers. You should have a hose barb which fits a 1" OD flexible pipe.
I would use the Dart. It is a flow rated pump but they are a powerful unit which will work for your small towers.

The PVC manifold is actually 1.25" PVC so I would assume that if I hood the dart up that I should keep it at 1.25? Which this in itself is a restriction on the dart (good thing that darts can be restricted on the outflow).

Will do. This may take some time. I'm in the considering stage of replumbing almost the entire system.
