What CYA level did you dose for? (how much did you add?)
Use : [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA] : to find your shock FC level and use PoolMath to add that amount of liquid chlorine. Recheck in 30min
Cya dosed to 30, 88oz, ( didn’t get it all in yet) shock level to 12 .
so I should continue doing this SLAM? Looks like my CC is going up from previous number.

You definitely want to continue SLAM Process, and dose per your CYA/30. It won't show up in a test until ~24hrs or so (as long as the water is circulated)
More numbers:
1:45 TC 8.5
CC 0.5
needed to get more bleach.
4:00. TC 6.0
CC 0.5
Dosed to 12 again.
On another front, I have noticed that when I filter my spa, I am not getting much pressure through the jets. If I turn blower on, get good pressure. I don’t like to use that a lot, just too noisy !
I can call the pool guy, but sure he can’t come out for awhile. Any ideas.?

Was real close early am, dosed until 11, then out for awhile. Came back to TC 4! Also see a few dark brown / yellow spots . Could this be metals... well water was added when opened.
So bad storms early am, didn’t get outside to get a sample. A few inches a rain so far, and looks like I need to get some water out when the rain stops. Then do I test the CYA to see if I lost the stabilizer I had put in, and keep on going?

A few inches of water pumped out will not have a significant impact. Calculate how much water that is, take your surface area of the pool and determine gallons per inch.
Take care.
Take care.
After a successful SLAM completed on 5/29, I test FC and dose bleach each evening. Here are my full results today.
Is there anything I should be concerned about or keep an eye on? Again , thanks to all!

For a plaster pool you CH is a little low for my taste, I would move it to around 300. But even that is not required or an emergency. Looks good!

Not sure if I should start a new thread,but....There were three tiles were off the pool under the spa spill over when we opened. Now there are 4 more off . Today when brushing, I knocked 2 tiles off inside the spa. Would this be due to age (almost 25 yrs old) or water chemistry? the plastic stripping under the cantilever deck is brittle and cracked in places. Any ideas what I can do now? I assume the water needs to be lowered below the repair, and we would not be using the pool for a time.
