We just had an Artesian Emerald Isle 33' round pool installed. We have a 36' D.E. filter and Hayward 1hp pump. I just wanted to get some suggestions on start up as opposed to the pool store people. The pool has just reached the full mark and now I need to start the pump. I think I got the the pre wash directions down for the D.E. Just want to make sure.

I was told to add 7 Quarts D.E. throught the skimmer. Then to shock the pool.
This seems ok but I was curious about the frog.

Has anyone heard of this system. F.R.O.G.?

Im really concerned with getting started the right way to be problem free. I am away from home a lot and do not want to have to worry about it.

CarlD seems to really have it going on, an hour a week maintenance...WOW!

Please help me to get on the right track.

Thank you so much,
Rustin
