Maintenance inteval on Airmatic air filter?

Anyone know the scheduled maintenance interval on the air filter for the semi-active airmatic suspension in the W211? MB lists it as a "fast moving" part, but I don't see any mention of it in the Service Sheet, nor could I find the repair instructions for it in WIS.

I'm not real interested in cracking open the airmatic system, but if this filter needs to be replaced at some point, I'd like to know when that's supposed to be. It's #100 in the diagram:

I have never seen an air matic pump filter replaced by itself.
Just wait and replace it along with the relay when the pump goes bad.

Assuming the filter is much cheaper than the pump, why not replace it? Perhaps it will greatly extend the life of the pump.
