First off, welcome to the board, Xiahuang7! Good to have you here... That's a good question, if you ask me...

As for the 1500 ton pond... these Showers are an add on to the pond, and as such, the water that feeds them, is drawn though the pond wall, straight into a pump chamber, and up over the Showers. For the life of me, I can't figure why they clean the 1500 ton pond?! Daisuke says that it is because the pond is so big, with the drains being so far apart. They literally scrub the walls and floor, even though, to my mind, they are always clean anyway. It doesn't matter how fantastic the water is, they still drain it! As for water changes on this pond... 3 to 5% per day is the norm for most of the year.
With the Bakki Shower, it has to be changed daily?..... Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of a so-called "maintenance free" pond?....
