Flourite is just about the only substrate I have used that I feel you have to rinse. It took me forever as well. It was the first substrate I used and continued to use it on other tanks. I finally bought some other types, went to rinse and nothing really happened. With the Flourite, I felt even after an hour, I still could go longer.

I wouldn't worry about pulling it out though. Just let you filter catch it and then clean your filter.
