Boiling spiderwood/driftwood in tap or RO water?

Just bought some small spiderwood and about to set my new tank up, so a couple of questions about boiling It.

I understand I need to boil it to release any tannins/help it sink. I've seen varying advice on how long to boil it, from 15mins to a few hours, to soaking it for weeks.

1. I've got 2 small pieces, so do I just boil until they sink? (If they sink yet)

2. Is it ok to boil in tap water as I've only got enough RO for my tank?

Thanks

Update: currently got them boiling in tap water!
