I added some things to the scene.
  I also succeeded in optimizing the render time. The image in my first
post took more than 3 hours to render. This one took 27 minutes.

  Any opinions and/or suggestions?

Care to give a hint what it might have been that made that much of a 
difference? Maybe cut back on AA? I'll go back and look at your previous 
rendering to see if that has changed any.

I'm thinking the steps in the pool don't fit to scale for the chairs.

If it is a decorative pool, it needs some decorative items as fishes,
plants....
I feel ripples too high versus wavelegnth
And I don't see any fallen/pushed mother in law under the water ;-)

cool.
maybe make all the chairs float in the air? maybe make one
float directly above the epicentre of the ripples, as if
whatever is causing the chairs to float is also causing the
disturbance of the water?

  Less antialiasing, changed the isosurface to a heightfield.

  They are supposed to be decorative.

  The fish would probably be completely black, unless I shoot hundreds of
millions of photons, and perhaps even then... I think it would be difficult
to make them look like fish...

  I was thinking about putting one or more chairs in the pool, but
perhaps it gets too crowded like that...
