I would say just about anything made out of Styrofoam would need replacing after 5 years if used regularly

heck i read the wafers should be replaced ever couple years, i know i have an 20 year old hovabator and the wafer corroded just sitting in the spare room, i cleaned it and it still worked but would not keep proper temps.

We are on a well and have high iron content in our water at times, mine would get stained from the iron after a season of use and makes it look orange when we are in a drought here

We're also on well water. Not sure about iron, but anything we put water in on a regular basis gets a build up of calcium, so I use distilled water in my incubator.

Yea i have had those also they do not lat long back then don't know about now days but i only use a stiro when i have big orders and need an extra hatcher for smaller orders .
Heck the old one i have has windows that are covered with laminate kinda plastic and it is also round. i will have to dig it out and take a photo of may be way older than 20 years it was given to me , i don't even remember who gave it to me now that i think about it.

This is Dinky she gets special treatment because she is so tiny compared to other babies this age, i really like this wee one and will be keeping her as i did not think this egg would make it to hatch as it was smaller than the normal pea egg and i thought it was from last years hatch, but to my surprise she developed and hatched on her own

Dinky's so cute!
Hey Zaz, have you been giving her a lot of egg? I've been giving our Runty mealworms but I'm a little worried about giving her too much protein, I know it can cause leg problems. How do you know how much you can give her? I want to be sure I don't do any harm to our little cutie...
