It's because these pumps loose much of their flow capacity if they have to create additional pressure.
So you want as large hoses etc as possible to get low pressure, that's also why the pumps come with the strange 1 1/8 fittings.
I've actually never checked but I assume that CC used the same hoses dimensions after the splitter T to each of the tanks.
This means that to get max flow you need to double that hose size before the T and all the way to the sea ****.
So you don't need to do this it's just the most effective setup IMHO so you can get max from the pumps.
