The best thing to do if you are inexperienced in pool maintenance it to take a sample of water from your pool in a clean bottle from about an arms length in depth to you local pool shop. There they will test the water for free and tel you how much chlorine your pool needs. Take along the dimensions of the pool as well for them to calculate the requirements.

You have to get a test kit that tests for it (Taylor makes a few). It's easier to take it to your local pool store though.

It takes a while.
No so long as you are maintaining the proper chlorine levels in the pool.
So long as the chlorine levels in the pool are OK there should be nothing to worry about.
it takes a matter of time because it depends on if alot of people are in the pool or not
A few days. You will probably be able to use the pool when the level gets to about 5.0 ppm 1) you should know the difference between residual chlorine and Free chlorine 2) Chlorine lost depend on size of you pool and temperature 3) circulation of water , temperature & size of pool will increase chlorine lost
Dissolve cyanuric acid in a bucket full of water before adding to the pool. The hotter the water the better as the crystals take a very long time to dissolve completly in cold water.

You can add sodium thiosulfate, circulate for one hour and chlorine will be gone.
Any one or thing swimming in the pool will reduce the amount of free chlorine available in the swimming pool. Dog hair body fats and other impurity's will take up free chlorine in the pool thereby reducing the amount of effective chlorine available. Dogs bring into the pool more contaminants than do humans for AA lot of various reasons.

Cavemen do not dissolve.
1 gallon of 12% strength liquid chlorine will raise 120,000 gallons of water approximately 1ppm. For 10,000 gallons it takes about 9oz. to achieve 1ppm. PPM means parts per million not parts per moron. A 1-1.5ppm chlorine residual is usually sufficient to maintain a swimming pool as long as it is in a free and not combined form (chloromine). Public pools are closed down if the chlorine level exceeds 9ppm. 1 gallon of chlorine in a 10,000 gallon pool will exceed 14ppm. Use an oxidizer such as potassium monopersulfate to keep the chlorine in its free state and you won't turn your hair green (copper precipitates) or dissolve your children. If you're using calcium hypochlorite a quarter pound will raise 20,000 gallons to 1ppm. The practice of overdosing a pool with chlorine once a week is for lazy people that don't know chemistry or math. Chlorine is an oxidizer and can be harmful in large doses as it is easily absorbed through the skin. Take your choice.
