Water Change Schedule for New Pond

Is there a rule of thumb to follow about water changes for a pond that is just starting to cycle (less than one month old)? In my old pond I do about 20% change each week. However, in the pond I have not made any water changes for the past four weeks with the assumption that I need to provide the bacteria a chance to grow.

Also, I was told by one dealer not to flush my Ultima Pressure filter or clean any bio filters for the first couple of months that the pond cycles. Is that accurate?
