Nothing special here....just standard hose quick connects. I also used 90 degree connectors to avoid hose kinks...

And order/buy enough of the same size. There are at least two different sizes of the quick disconnects.

A standard garden hose thread is designated as "3/4 GHT". Select a disconnect with a large center bore so the water flow does not get choked down too much. And buy a number of the same kind when you get them as it's hard to find disconnects from different manufacturers that will work together.

I'm with ESDILL on this. I will add that, IMHO, inexpensive fitting are a source of frustration, constant leaks. Buy quality fittings from Garret Wade or A. M. Leonard, more expensive but well worth it. The A M Leonard are very wide bore for maximum water flow and you can buy packages of the O-rings at the same time for maintenance replacement.
