I've noticed that living in west central Florida I don't have some of the same concerns that may be common in other TFP members' areas, and have things we need to deal with that others may not. The main difference is long hot days and RAIN, and lots of it, which leads to draining and dilution of some chemicals.
1) CYA: I have to add periodically throughout the summer, due to long hot days and draining.
2) Cal-hypo vs liquid chlorine: when I have to add chlorine for some reason (we have an SWCG, so this isn't often) cal-hypo is fine. Like my CYA, my calcium levels drop over time, and I actually need the calcium boost that the cal-hypo provides.
Folks with in dry areas with high calcium levels in fill water will need to watch to ensure that CH levels don't get too high, and don't worry about loss of CYA.
What does TFP look like for you, where you live?
