You have plenty of options ranging from inexpensive Test Kits and Test Strips through relatively expensive test kits. I recommend what is known as a 4-in-1 Test Kit - which includes tests for chlorine, pH, Acid demand and Total Alkalinity. Not expensive, available at any Pool Shop or harware store (Ace, Home Depot etc). One brand is All-Clear.
