And to get the dosage, go to the Pool Calculator. You can save this as a file to your HD or a stick and use it offline as well.
You input the volume, your test results, and your targets (goals) in ppm and it returns to you the amount of product to add. It can be adjusted for type of sanitizer, for instance 5.25% bleach or 10% bleach, and it will calculate for you the effect of adding any number of compounds. A very nifty tool, play with it a little to see what it can do for you.
With the exception of bleach, where adding too much isn't a crisis, you want to go easy when you adjust chemistry. Most of us add 1/2 to maybe 3/4 of the suggested or calculated amount, wait a while for it to mix in, and test again before adding the rest. It's a lot easier to put in more than it is to take some out
