I think this is what you want.

Do the pink and yellow tests daily. The other tests every couple of weeks.

Use an online calculator to help you balance the pool, like this one:

Also, learn how to backwash your filters. For your pool, I'm guessing do that every one to two weeks.

I'm a former certified pool operator from Idaho and worked at pools for 20 years, including one 160,000 gallon pool and a 1 million gallon pool. I'm unfamiliar with a chlorine free pool, unless it is referring to a different sanitizing agent like Bromine. Taking care of your pool frequently will help you learn the pool and what tendencies it has. You will probably know when you need to balance the ph or add chlorine. Other things like the alkalinity or saturation index are a little trickier, and you may want to consult someone at a local pool store when those are off (just be aware they usually suggest adding a lot more chemicals than you really need, $$, so the more you learn, the more you will save).

Also, if the water seems cloudy, but all the tests are normal, try getting a pool clarifier. It clumps together all the tiny particles in your pool so that they get caught in the filter. The next day, your pool will be crystal clear. Just backwash after use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064E8BL6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JuVfzbC9Q739H

These are the basics I can suggest. Good luck.

Green and Mustard algaecide Swimtrine plus

This works really well. Make sure you shock, use your algaecide and proper filtration. I recommend a 36 hour treatment. Shock, use algaecide and use a wire brush on the mustard algae. After the first 12 hours of running your filter, shock it again. Shock a 3rd time at 24 hours, 4th at 36. After 36 hours, clean your filter out as best as you can.. another thing I’ll include is controlling your phosphates. Not a lot of people mention about phosphates but if you have surrounding trees/bushes that are getting into your pool, it’ll increase your phosphates, which is food for algae. Let me know if you need anymore help !

Edit: forgot to mention; Hasa Phos out works really well at reducing your phosphates. You should add this once the algae is gone.

If you cant stand it turn pool pump off and drop this in the water. The debris floating will eventually get filtered out but this stuff works quick to dissapate off the surface for instant gratification. Works best on pollen.

Here's what I use for my ~17000gal inground vinyl pool in zone 7 (PA):

• 1 L Metal Free
  
• 4 lbs non-chlorine shock (Leslie's Fresh & Clear)
  
• 1 lb chlorine shock (Leslie's Power Powder Plus) - sometimes less
  
• 1 Qt algae control
  
• 1 L Pool Magic + PhosFree
  
• 1 winterpill
  
  Here's my process:
  
  
• make sure TA is in 120-140PPM range
  
• make sure pH is in 7.4-7.6 range
  
• drop water line
  
• bump filter and drain it
  
• remove ladders, skimmer baskets, jet fittings
  
• toss any tablets that were in chlorinator, drain
  
• blow lines
  
• add 1 L Metal Free
  
• add 4 lbs Fresh & Clear
  
• if free chlorine is between 1-3ppm, add power powder plus to increase
  
• wait a day (high chlorine will kill algaecide)
  
• add 1 qt Algae control
  
• 1 L pool magic + phosfree
  
• put on cover
  
  
  In January/Feb (those weird days where it gets to be really warm) I'll throw in an aquapill under the cover. I forgot to use it this year though, and the water was fine.. but it was a pretty cold winter.
  
  Note: to circulate chemicals after lowering the water, I use my pool cleaning robot. If you don't have one, you can use a submersible pump, with the return hose going right back into the pool.

Before you drain. You pour in a hot tub purge and run the jets for a while. Then drain. There are other brands, but we use Oh Yuk
