How often do they change pool water completely?

Anyone knows how public swimming pools are maintained? Do they completely change the pool water at the end of day, or weekly? Anything they do to the pool overnight (just circulate like daytime, or do nothing, or change entire pool water)? Is the water cleaner in early morning than evening because of this? Thanks.

    The pool I learned at (Grizzly Pool in Missoula, MT) had a foot pool as you exited the locker room onto the pool deck. They rarely filled it though, and I think they may have taken it out altogether when they renovated the pool at some point. I don't think I have ever seen that at any other pool, now that I think of it. One thing they do in Europe that we don't have in the US is walking through a foot-pool before going on deck. I have to image that simple step (especially after visiting the rest room!) would help keep the water clean. (Too bad the heavy perfume/cologne people forget about the "take a shower before entering the pool".)
