Maybe I'm wrong but when I read your posts I got the idea that testing and making chemistry adjustments were things that were both happening periodically but not regularly. If that is the case, that isn't going to work. You have to tend it on a regular consistent basis like daily for now. After you learn how your pool behaves, you may be able to go a day or so between testing and adjusting but not now.
