There are great many issue for you to visit now that you are a pool owner.
Not withstanding that you have half a pool cleaning system.
As we advise in the previous post which Cathy has highlighted, the fact that you do not have the equipment you need is a blow but not insurmountable. You should consider a good pool tester first and formost as its the secret to keeping a good pool as if you do not know whats going on with the water chemistry, then you'll never get it right or keep it that way. (I recommend the Scuba +)
The Total Alkalinity is the first stage to fix, followed by pH, stabilser and chorine levels. And then filter, filter and filter some more. If you've got a sand filter then changer it to Zeolite(ZEL EAU) and look at your sanitisation regime and continue with either manual dosing or consider automatic with Chlorine Direct injection. If you do not know what these terms mean then see the glossary on my web site. http://www.poolguy.fr/glossary.html
Its sad that the previous owner took the robot, I would have thought that it was part of the inventory, its important to name these things before you pay the final amounts so that they stay. Nevertheless if you want me to look out for a second hand one then let me know. They do come up from time to time as some owners find that they do not suit them so well after developing a leak. Or you could consider a new electric model.
At any rate let me know if I can help you.
