I not only sanitize with campden before using equiptment, I sanitize
when I am done too, a trick I have is I hang my hoses and auto siphon
on my fan and let it blow the hoses and siphon till its dry inside, no
moisture, no growth, probably works best in the winter due to low
humidity. I poke the ends into the fan cover so the air blows into them
to dry the inside.
 
Inormally just shake everything out best I can and put it all up. Not going to be anything growing in or on K-meta. moisture.
 
If you find the need to blow-dry the hoses, (I don't) make sure you don't use compressed air from a compressor. There is residual oil, water, and internal crud in the tank that would be detrimental to your wine and "and your system."
 
Same here. Hot water rinse to clean, then sanitize with KMeta spray prior to use.
