Hi tasper and welcome to TFP!
One of the things that would help you very much is to get your own pool water testing kit.
This is like having a study kit, it will give you results of your pool water condition, so you can adjust your pool water chemistry to fit your conditions.
All of these links are from Pool School link at the top of the page.
This link here covers testing kits...

The TF-100 kit is the most preferred here and is the one I use.
Reading here will familiarize you to pool water chemistry.

It might be a little overwhelming at first, but with all of us here to help it becomes easier every day.
I was in the same situation last April and was just about to get rid of my above ground pool, all I did was spend lots of $$ at the pool store every week just to have to go and do something else a week or two later!
I found TFP and haven't had one regret about taking this on myself!
When I first started here I followed these instructions and posted my pool water results and was surprised by all of the help I received here!

Now I have a perfect pool that screams at us to come swimming every minute.
My pool has never been this nice and so easy to care for in such a short time!
P.S. You'll also save more $$ when you understand your pool chemistry and don't dump lots of stuff in the pool that doesn't work or need.
