How Often Should I Change My Water?

Howdy ya'll,
I recently made myself a 5 gallon easy cloner (see attached photos). I'm not currently using an air pump & am wondering how often I should change my water because of that. I don't add nutes to this water (only root hormone on clones) because seedlings don't need it and I don't like to shock my clones. I changed the mister heads to regular 360 ones because I wasn't getting enough pressure; either because I'm only using a small pump (132gph) or because the way I made it. It works fine now though! Im posting this on my phone so I think the pictures might end up very large, sorry in advance.

TD :peace:

You should see roots from the cloning process in 6-14 days which at that point you are probally wanting to transplant them out of there, hence no need to change the solution until the next batch goes in. Which should be after you've cleaned it up because you inbetween uses ;)
Unless you are continually puting cuttings in and out of it and it runs 24/7 for weeks on end? Then you would want to do routine changes perhaps you could get away with getting two cycles of cuts before changing. The more water you deal with the more stable it becomes.
 
Thanks clownbaby; you're absolutely right. The little fellas I put in two days ago are looking fine but I know I should get an airstone in there.
