You add bleach/chlorine daily. I add mine in the evening after the sun is off the pool. I do this so the FC is able to do it's work without the sun taking any of it. The pump has to run for at least 30 mins to mix it in good.
I am going to post a few more links. I hope they help. If you have ANY questions PLEASE feel free to ask them. The links are just to guide you.
Pool School - Basic Pool Care Schedule
Pool School - Determine Pump Run Time
Now I am going to post THE main reading you should do to make sure you know the whys and hows things are done/said here on TFP.
