I have a similarl size pool. Living in Northern Florida I shock it weekly (~1.25gal)--the sun and heat really reduce the effects of the Chlorine. I have an automatic chlorinater, and would'nt be without it--refill it about every 10 to 14 days. During the summer I have the water tested about once a week at a local pool place, they do it for free, but I do buy my chemicals there. I keep the chemicals balanced in the winter as well, testing about once every three months: I found that if I didn't the stairs and ladder would stain.
