I have a 12 "x 36" Intex round metal frame pool. What is the amount / dose of bleach, borax and baking soda?

I 'M in New York. I am a pool owner for the first time and clueless. I use for my household chemicals Pool borax for PH up, baking powder and generic Alk 5.25% unscented bleach or additives such as chlorine. I have test strips, squares on it. I test my water, then add what he told me that my lack of water and try to color to color square one match. I retested later, and add what is missing. My pool is only 12 'x 36 "round. There is a metal frame Intex pool. The filter pump hardly touched it with water was when I bought a Hayward 1 / 2 HP (with filter paper) of the pump. The water now flows. LOL! My problem: I do not know how to judge, what my pool everyday. In other words, how well I would like to automatically chemicals every day without getting a job. I am only side of things without the slightest idea of how much I use. I also have a bottle Algaeside (spelling?) I gave me a friend. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

This is not like vitamins. there no daily doses. It is more like medicine for your child, you use what is necessary, if necessary. Things are bad or wrong amount of water you use "sick". Go to a local pool supply and get a test kit suitable. Ask them how to operate and understand. Also ask about the chemicals on the readings of Your test kit to use. Enjoy your pool, you take care of your water are increasing.
