You also want to keep the water flowing on the wheel to prevent drying out and potentially ruining the wheel surface.

This is subject to many variables such as your grinding technique, amount of cooling, type of stone, etc. Research has proven that these wheels last hundreds, if not thousands of stones but again, this is subject to the previously mentioned variables. Always remember to let the wheels do the work.
