To rinse or not to rinse :)

This might be a dumb question but should I be rinsing my filter cartridge while I'm going through my cycle? It's been in there for over a month but I don't want to rinse away the bacteria. Also....once the cycle is finished how often do I rinse it and how often should I change it?
