Default Pool water change or no change?

Do the ships maintenance personnel change the pool water very often, or for
that matter, do they change it at all?
Week after week with all those people in the water seems a little murky to
me.

At least on the Carnival Legend, they drain the pools before they
arrive in port on the last day, and fill it with sea water (treated, I
believe) when they are out at sea on the next cruise. I suspect that
the others do the same thing.

Carnival changes the pool water daily. They also monitor the cleanliness of
the water very carefully, per CDC regulations.

On most, if not all of Princess ships use distilled sea water in the pools.

I do not believe they are drained, but I have seen the water "tested" several
times a day. In addition, quite a lot of water has to be replaced due to ship
movement.

So how often does your local public pool change the water? NN
