Hi, and welcome to the forum!!

Do yourself a favor and get a good test kit, not the strips. Strips are not accurate enough for you to manage a pool, especially one with metals in it. Log out, look in the second section of threads on the forum home page, and open the subforum called "Pool chemistry for Intex-type pools". Then open the first sticky, called "before you fill your Intex-type pool with well water!". That sticky will answer most all of your questions...but if it doesn't, feel free to come back here and post them. Managing a pool with iron in the water can be tricky, but it's not that hard if you understand what you're doing.

A good test kit is going to be a necessity, though. Take a look at the testkit link in my sig--we highly recommend the K-2006.
