Not sure what you mean by "sitting tight".
We here do not change filters unless there is a very good reason. Eg, if the filter is so old that it is difficult to replace parts, or not satisfied with what the filter is doing.
To better answer your question, could give us more details about the filter and your particular pool system, i.e. pool type, size in gallons, pump size, chlorinating method, etc.
