Do You Need to Rinse/Scrub Hydroton Before Using It?

My brother told me yesterday that you need to rinse and scrub hydroton prior to use... is that true? If so... what does that do for you? Seems like a gigantic pain if so, and would like to avoid it if its unnecessary?

If you don't you will get all kinds of particles and broken bits that will jam a pump and generally muck up your system
