Turtles are messy and produce a lot of waste, so unless you're going to keep performing the time-consuming task of cleaning, I'd get a filter for the pond. If you get a filter with ample room for biomedia, beneficial bacteria will colonize in it and will help keep up water quality, making cleaning less frequent--and it will be much healthier for your turtles.
