Which connectors are you using???

I use the Pro 26 ones, 12 months at least since I last had to change one.

The problem with plastic connectors they wear through use, & just a little bit of wear means that when under pressure the water will find the weak point everytime.

Gardiners Quick Release Shut-Off Coupling with ½" Hose Barb
Expensive outlay,  but the better quality means no leaks & cost saving in the long run.
