Do I need a constant water source going to a garden fish pond?

Someone told me there needs to be a direct water source going to a garden pond. Can't I just clean it out and refill it with the garden hose? Also, if electricity is hard to come by in the area, can you buy solar powered pumps?
 
No and yes.
I have a pond that is not supplied by anything but rainwater. I also have a solar powered pump, very small but it oxygenates the water (along with an oxygenating plant) sufficiently enough to sustain 6 fish, tadpoles/frogs etc.
Do not top up with the hosepipe as tapwater is treated. Use rainwater froma rain water butt if it gets really low.
