If your result is orange you are right where you need to be. If it turns yellow you will have to add chlorine to balance the pH levels out. Like I said though, orange is perfect and you will only have to check it twice a month.

How to Use Ph paper to do Ph Testing?
PH testing is often more of a curiosity than anything else, unless a person has a swimming pool of any size filled in their back yard. Sometimes, even if you do not have an in ground or above ground pool, you still want to know the PH of an object. Whether it is for a science project or out of simple curiosity, it is easy to determine the acidity or alkaline nature of an object without a lot of special equipment.Before doing basic ph testing, a person should head to his local drug store or Wal-Mart, and pick up an item simply called PH testing strips. These are pieces of paper similar to the litmus paper that most people used in grade school science classes. The difference is that they change to more than one color and make it easier to read. More advanced equipment is seldom needed for most uses around the home.Take the strip of paper off of the book. Prepare a small solution of the chemical you want to test and place a small part of the piece of paper in. If the solution is not neutral, it will change colors. If the strip does not change colors at all, the tested item has a pH number of seven and it is neither a base nor an acid. If the color of the strip does change, the user should compare it against a chart provided with the purchase. The color should correspond to one already on the chart.People doing ph testing for their swimming pool want to make sure that the water is within a safe range for people. While the steps remain the same, there are additional steps. The owner must add the appropriate chemicals to bring the water back to around a ph of 7. Usually, it is the addition of the chemicals that causes the pH of pool water to change drastically in the first place.
