Welcome to TFP!!!
That is one big pool!
How are you testing your water chemistry? If you don't have a recommended test kit, order one now! Link-->Test Kits Compared
Add 3ppm of liquid chlorine until your test kit arrives. Download Pool Math, it will tell you how much to add to get 3ppm into the pool daily. Link-->PoolMath
When your kit arrives, post a full set of results and we will get you squared.
