Somebody mentioned reusing the mix after repotting. I guess that would be that the akadama has deteriorated past the point of usefulness, so take it out of the lava rock/pumice mixture, then replace the akadama with fresh (or, maybe, something else). I would guess that I would sift the old stuff, let the old akadama fall through, and keep the other stuff, which should be just lava rock and pumice. Is that right?
