Can 1 lifter pump supply 2 monitor heaters?

I recently bought a house that is heated with 2 monitor kero heaters on the 2nd story. They are in adjoining rooms and each has its own lifter pump.

The pump in the living room is older and makes quite a racket when the pump turns on (drowns out the tv). The pump in the adjoining master bedroom is much quieter.

What I'm wondering is if I can remove the living room lifter pump and run both heaters from the 1 quieter pump. Both heaters are below the pump so from a technical aspect it should work with a Y joint?

I know it'll have to run more often but am looking for a quieter living room!
