Rinsing Biopellets??

[PJS]

This is the first time this has happened, my reactor for the biopellets got clogged and the pellets weren't churning. I'm not sure how long this has been going on, I'm thinking 2-3 days at the most(since Sundays maintenance) I pulled the Reactor out and I am curious if I can dump the stagnant water out and rinse off the pellets and reuse them?
I ask because this is a fairly new batch of pellets, about a month old.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I've had similar issues before; I typically rinse them in tank water or RODI before adding more pellets and reassembling.
