How often do you guys clean yr filters? Tried to clean one of the filters but still look clean, so just rinse them. the other filters didn't bother to clean.

So far the water pressure is good etc. Have been using the filter for about 4mths now and havent clean them.:(

Hmm..maybe. But what about the substrate in the filters? Do I need to change them often?
