I would'nt go without a filter, the water would get stagnant and would attract mosquito breeding. A pond is truly one of the most relaxing things out there, I would run electricity to it and enjoy. Ponds are alot of work. Check this site out.... http://www.aquascapeinc.com/messageboard/index.php
You can buy small solar ones on ebay but they wont be strong enough. I would say you'd need at least a 1,000 gph pump for good water turnover, and some sort of bio-filter for becteria to grow in and filter/veggie falls to help break down ammonia, If you are planning to have fish in it.
