A Real Good Idea, but be careful, anything strong enough to sanitize is strong enough to damage the RO membrane.

Never sanitized anything that small....

i just just ran a 1:100 bleach water solution through my pump to my expansion tank and out through my faucet. i dwelled for 10 minutes. i bypass my ro system and post carbon block. i would rather buy a new membrane than sanitize it. there is citric acid for that though right?

I used chlorine test strips to make sure my system was clear of bleach. it took a hour and a half to clear the bleach.
