Does adding (and maintaining) Metal Out impact the chlorine levels ?

I recently opened my pool. I have little to no FC/CC despite adding both liquid and granular shock . My PH is below 6.8 and my CYA is reading little to none. Which should raise first? PH or CYA? Or does it even matter? Or is there a different approach I should take. Water is clear and...

For whatever reason my PH has fallen to 6.9 over the past month ... that's a separate topic ... my question is, should I raise it up BEFORE I close my pool for the winter? Or is this something that can wait until next Spring/Summer to resolve?

Please take a look at my chart below ... I am concerned about the Saturation Index. What should I do to help bring the Saturation Index back in-line? As always, your help is greatly appreciated :) [attachment=0:uyl9fjna]PoolChemistry6.29.2013.jpg[/attachment:uyl9fjna]
