Default Two sprinkers: connect in sereis or parallel?

I have a lawn geometry that is best handled with two sprinklers.

Would it best to connect them in series (faucet to 1st sprinkler and
then 2nd sprinkler to the 1st one), or parallel (put a Y splitter at
the faucet and connect both sprinklers independently by separate
hoses)?

Thanks.



Use the "y" connect. Better water pressure. You'd need to have such high
starting pressure with the series arrangement that the hoses would be
stressed.
