    Ready2swim, I went ballistic on your behalf after reading your post. Having that wonderful pool and spa filled "a couple of days ago" without your equipment on is an algae pool on the not-too-distant horizon , IMHO. Good to see you've got at least one pump going for some circulation.

    A-s-suming you filled with some kind of municipal water, you at least have some low level of chlorine in it, but that will be gone very, very soon, if it's not gone already.

    If that were my pool, I'd be on the phone to the PB today and get them to get the rest of your equipment started, but not the SWG. It really shouldn't take them that long if they just get your basic stuff going, including the filter. If they can get your pumps and filter online, that'll make your life a whole lot easier and then this forum can help you with the rest.

    Get a good drops-based test kit, if you don't already have one and test your water and post your results back here. Could you also tell us what finish you have on the gunite?

    Good luck,
