Leaving Iodophor in Tap Lines

I dunno. But my guess is that it would stain the vinyl.

 

It will turn your lines yellow and it will loose its potency.
Not sure of any other effects

 

On a slighly different note, has anyone used these?

To me, Iodophor has a nauseating chlorine bleach-like odor, and I would not want to take a chance of that odor staying in the plastic lines since it is a closed environment with no place for the odor to go except to catch onto the beer.

 

think i would prefer to leave starsan in my lines, but I don't think you would be hurt by leaving IO in your lines. It usually fades color as it loses potency.

 

I leave idophor in my lines. I have noticed no off flavors from it. I do waste at least one beer doing this rinsing the line.

 

I've done this by accident before, with no apparent ill affects, other than staining the tubing.
