Wouldn't a regular flush with water eliminate the issue of build up/waste products in a non-s/h growing situation?

I've been using LECA for several years now and only rip off the media when something has outgrown my size limit - 10" clay pot. I've never noticed any ill effects from up potting to bigger pots but do notice some decline when I divide and start over again.
