    FX5 owners, do you ever replace the sponges?

    I have (3) FX5 filters never changed a sponge in 4 years so far. Also you can buy the same stuff as Poret foam for half the price, just search "reticulated foam". I buy it in the same sizes as the Poret stuff and the stuff I get is made right here in the good ole' USA.
