do you use different hose taps or the same for both ?

Do they disconnect whilst dragging them along the ground? If so you need to fit something like this to prevent this happening:

Or it could be because the connector on the tap side has worn and needs replacing.

It does sound like the tap end has become worn, time for a new one.
