Heard a guy at the parts counter say he never changes his coolant

Stopped by MSC in Cleveland last Tuesday to pick up some end mills and this older machinist was telling the guy behind the counter he's been running the same coolant in his Haas for 7 years without a change. Just tops it off with water when it gets low. My shop does a full dump and refill every 6 months like clockwork. Has anyone else seen coolant last that long without growing stuff or losing lubricity?

Wait, 7 years on the same coolant? I can barely keep my Goldfish crackers from getting stale after a week, so he's basically a wizard.

@jamiekim my coolant has outlived three of my houseplants so don't ask me for advice.
