Coco coir and salt buildup?

[CaliJay]

Anyone know if it is typical to need to flush coco? I have 50/50 coir and perlite substrate. I top feed with 2ea 1/4 in tubes per pot. My thought was that I was basicly flushing the pots as I water them. My on cycle is 10 mins each time so I get a lot of runoff. Anyone with coco experience?
