Answer:

You need something to test the water with, test strips would probably be ideal for a quick check of the water quality. After testing, you want to make sure that you are controlling your chlorine (with 1" pucks and perhaps shock as needed), pH and total alkalinity. There are chemicals clearly marked for adjusting the pH and alkalinity if your test shows that is needed.
