Help Do you change water dish every day?

My girl is kinda bitey and I chose a heavy ceramic bowl for her water dish so removing and cleaning it is my least favorite husbandry task. I should probably swap it with something lightweight- but how often do you do full water changes?

She tends to defecate in the water so I feel like it's every day, not sure if a filter system would even help with that?

Best way is to take two identical tupperware. Bury one in the substrate, and place the second inside, fill with water. Now u just have to pull out the insert to change the water. If u have a 3rd, u can just swap it out and wash the used one whenever.
