Pools for dummies please help!

I have never cared for a pool and am finding the chemicals difficult to grasp. I have a a round 12x30 quick set pool with filter. I bought everything on the kiddie pool list and used the calculator. The test kit results are orange for CL BR and too dark of a pink for PH. Do I wait until they level out? Do I use the pool calculator doses (minus Algecide) every day or are those start up doses? I am very clueless on what I am doing. On a daily basis should I be using every chemical except Algecide which is 2x a week?

Thank you!
