We just built a new, small (above-ground) pond inside our screened
patio here in Florida. It will *not* contain fish or plants -- it
will just be a simple pond with a waterfall. The pond holds
approximately 75-100 gallons of water (city water). It has a 170 gph
pump that is running all the time to circulate the water via a small
multi-shelf waterfall.

Can anyone suggest any good web sites where I can learn more about
the required water maintenance for a pond without fish or plants?

With no fish or plants, I'd just treat it like a small swimming pool
(without the chlorination...just some algacide on occasion). Other
than topping off the water, I can't see how a lot of maintenance would
be required for something indoors.

With no fish and no chlorine it might be a good idea to use mosquito
dunks, too.
