    Default Newbie here, starting up FG pool

    Hi, I have a fiberglass in ground pool, capacity 12,500 gallons. The pump is a Pentair 1.5 hp. Filter is American Products Predator circular media filter. I use a Kreepy Krawler sweep. Right now, the water is a lovely green color. I hope to get it cleaned up for the summer. I appreciate any advice and information to get things started.

    Some info we need from you that will enable someone here to better help you.

    1. Can you provide water testing results taken with a drops-based kit? No test strips or 'guess strips' as we like to call them.
    2. Tell us exactly what all you have added to the water, meaning ingredients and not just product names.
    3. What filter media does your filter use?
    4. Lastly, what is the source of your fill water -- a well or city water?

    Welcome to the Pool Forum!
