5. TIR34 mentioned within the testing requirements. However, the quote is asking for the loop to be sanitized annually and the TIR34 standard is moving towards monthly sanitizations of the loop/storage and RO. (I've attached a slide show with some TIR34 information) At this time the Loop Disinfection will remain an Annual requirement. Loop Disinfection will take a large amount of coordination with SPS and Lab to shutdown every month. Previous Loop Disinfection resulted in an overnight shut down and it took 10 hours to fully get the system sanitized and back up and running.
