How do you guys sterilize your RO/DI jugs? I've never sterilized mine (my jugs are about 2 years old), and figure maybe I should start. ;)

I use the sulfite sterilizer for wine and beer making equipment. I have it on hand (for its intended purpose) and it does not leave anything behind after a quick rinse. Kills bacteria and yeasts on contact better than chlorine based sterilants.

I use the Water cooler cleaner that they sell at Water stores. I do my water cooler every 2 months and my bottles at the same time. Once the bottles are clean I take them to the water store and they do an Ozone rinse before filling them up with new water.

Yeah, the Water company today told me the same formula as Gools just suggested.
