Change out bubblers?

Wondering how often any of you guys change out ur bubblers in the pools? Asking since I haven't changed mine since I set up the new tank earlier this past summer.

When you notice a serious reduction in the amount of bubbles produced. Normally this is around the year mark, which is why many suggest replacing them early.

Ah! Thanks, AussieJJDude! I went ahead and changed mine out cuz the one in the SW pool was starting to look darkish Image. But doing it once a year is pretty manageable :)

Just due to algae growing on it. Its harmless and nothing to worry about.
