i may never get the pool balance thing

Yeah, unless you have a new pool, your pic from last year does not show a 25x45. A lot of people here are trying to help you but your lack of accuracy makes it very, very difficult to provide you correct advice. The procedures we teach for pool water chemistry are all based on CAREFUL testing and learning to understand what you are testing for and what to do about the results.

If you are serious about getting a grip on your pool chemistry, you will have to be more careful about the posts you make......it is quite confusing.
