At this point I've accumulated enough plants to where individual trays are no longer efficient / feasible, so I've moved several plants into communal trays.
Some (most) of the plants are recently re-potted into new media, so there's plenty of run-off and leeching: the water can turn yellow after a couple days, etc.
So I'm curious as to how often I should dump it out and rinse it, as opposed to just topping off water-loss? I'm sure people have different methods, so hearing a few different perspectives and anecdotes will help. Right now, about once a week I'll dump the tray and give them a good rinsing with the sprayer attachment on the sink before re-filling them with new distilled water.
