Hi,
I have the ceramic rings in my Xp3 filter, the filter has been sitting for at least 3 years and i am guessing the rings are at least that old. Should i replace the rings?.

no, you do not have to replace them. well... only if they are crumbling but as long as they are intact. you can re-use them.

I've been using the same Rings for Years and Years and Years,they're very durable.
If they looked completely clogged or just saturated in gunk you can always bake some of them, to not kill all your bb at once.
Being ceramic they can take really high temps, so I have boiled mine before then put them in the oven to really get everything out of the pores.
thank you all
