    Default Cleaning tubing?

    What do the most of you use to clean you're tubing?

    I keep a pump with a 6 ft piece of tubing in the RO reservoir and we fill gallon jugs for drinking/coffee etc.

    And after a while the tubing starts to get mold looking stuff in. This is also the pump we use to transfer the RO into the salt water reservoir so I dont want to use any chemicals. So what does work for cleaning this?

    Thank you in advance; Ray

    Can I say as I never clean mine but they make little brushes for tubs but not sure you could get one that small. I will see if I can find a link.

    PS. the tubes I'm talking about is the one on the pump that I use in the reservoir; not on the RO unit itself.
