Really Ray? That surprises me. I reuse it all the time unless it's been in use for a prolonged time and starts to look "yucky" to the eye. Guess I always presumed you did the same.
I dump a bunch into a huge net pot I have, used for growing water plants, and hose the heck outta it. Then soak overnight in a five gallon bucket with vinegar, rinse and resoak overnight, then let it sit out in sun until dry, then throw back into a container for eventual use. Have never had an issue.
Never would I dream of pressure cooking LECA. I'd come closer to putting it in a mesh bag and running it through a dishwasher. Not that I've done that, but have before with aquarium rock and wood to remove/kill algae buildup.
I still remember the day at my aunt's house when she and my mom were pressure cooking chickens. They got busy chatting and BOOM! Chicken on the ceiling and EVERYWHERE! It was a very impressive sight, and I've never had the desire since to experiment with one.
