Thank you, TFT us the place to really learn how to operate a pool.
Test strips and color gradient tests are not very accurate. Use a Taylor K-2006 or the equal from Trouble Free Pools.
Also, if you really want to enjoy your pool and minimize work, get a VSP (Variable Speed Pump) and a Salt-Water Chlorine Generator. Once dialed in, you don't have to worry about putting in chlorine. My testing is now once a week and I generally only test Chlorine and pH. And the VSP minimizes your pump operating costs.
