Hi, Lisa, and welcome to the Pool Forum!

First of all, order a good kit. The one we recommend is the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C that you can get through the test kit link in my signature below. In the meantime, pick up a cheap OTO/Phenol Red kit (yellow and red drops) from Walmart or the like. While you are there, get a bunch of jugs of their generic bleach (unscented), a couple of boxes of 20 Mule Team Borax (laundry aisle) and a bottle of distilled water.

Scoop out as much debris as you can.

Since your post is a couple of days old, post back and tell us if your equipment is now hooked up and what all (if anything) you have added to the water, meaning ingredients.

Then, we will try and help you go from there.
