Boiling SS taps works somewhat well, plastic not so much. The micro-organisms penetrate the tubing wall. Boiling does kill on the surface and help remove some of the debris, but it will not kill in the tubing wall. Also, various approved cleaning agents do not kill what penetrated the tubing wall. It does help keep the tubing micro organisms a little in check.
The most important part is to usa a new tap every year if they are not SS, second comes the drop line and tee, those should be changed every 3 or 4 years (3 is best), the lateral line should just be flushed after the season, then let dry.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
