So I been rinsing the Filter pad with the tank water to get all the chunks off for a while but now the pad is all messed up. Is it okay to change a new one would it affect my tank or water parameters? Please let me know.

if your sketch about it you can just put another pad on top of the existing pad for a week and then throw away the old pad. by this time the bacteria will have colonized the new pad.
