What do you need to fill and start a new pool?

when you have filled the pool so the static skimmer is underwater and water can get to the filtration system let it run for about 24 hours. the best thing to do after that is to take a sample of water from a bout an arms length down from the surface of the pool. Do this by thoroughly cleaning a soft drink bottle or something like that, Hold it upside down as you put it in the water push it down as far as you can reach and turn it around when the bole is full cap it and take it to a pool shop. Let them know that this is new water. and also where it came from,They will tell you from testing your water exactly what is required to get the water ready to swim in.
