Hi Greg, and welcome.
First, you need to spend some time in Pool School.... a tab in this forum, just click on it, get a cold beverage and spend a lot of time reading. There, you will find that we don't do test strips, chlorine tablets, or shock treatment. Probably one of the first things you should tackle is getting a proper test kit http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/124-pool-test-kits-comparison, because with out that (and good test results) *you* won't know what to do and we won't know how to advise you.

Welcome to the forum. 
ewkearns is spot on the money. It's a pretty big leap to embrace what we teach but, if you read the threads in here, you will become a believer.
All of our advice and teachings comes from testing your pool precisely.....the strips simply do not provide the accuracy and consistency you need.
I would suggest you read "The ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry" up in Pool School. It's a great foundation and will lead to many questions all of which we will answer.
