Questions regarding o2 regulator I'm about to buy

[kontrol]

I'm about to buy this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/130892097368

Got tired of shaking the carboy! (My back hurts after that...)

I was wondering, what's the good way to sanitize and store this item? Should I remove every part and sanitize them or can I just leave the whole thing together and only dip in star san or boil for 10 minutes?

I would think you'd only need to sanitize the tube and stone that has direct contact with wort. As long as you keep it fairly clean between uses, you should be okay.

I just got the Williams kit (http://www.williamsbrewing.com/WILLIAMS-OXYGEN-AERATION-SYSTEM-P699.aspx) only $5 more than your ebay one, but it has a stainless steel rod included. I haven't used it yet but liked it b/c it will keep the stone at the bottom. Just wanted to point that one out.

hey thank for your answer. Sadly they don't ship to Canada
