Subject: Desinfection of RO-water system pipes

Who has experience with the desinfection of the pipes of the RO-water system?

We want to install a spare tank, how should we desinfect it before use?

RO water is Mineral free Water. It is a means, meaning: If you warm it to 80C - 93C you may consider the water as part of disinfection process when using a WD.
RO Water quality is appropriate for Stainless Steel (like Autoclaves, washers, Instruments).
Mineral free water is the appropriate water quality to be used as Sterilant.
Why to disinfect the piping? Keep it clean, keep it dry when not in use. Keep the distribution system in a way that it will not affect the quality of the RO Water.

Does it make sense?
