Bleach? I've also got cloudy water

[cjayc]

I didn't know that you could use bleach in place of shock. Is bleach better that granular chlorine? It seems like everytime I use the granules, my pool get more cloudy. I am unable to see the bottom of pool now, a couple of day ago, it was starting to clear up. I have done everything that I was told by two separate pool supply places, and nothing works. I was wondering if I changed my sand in the filter, that maybe it would clear up. I am very new to this pool, we moved in last year and the pool was already here. The previous owners did not leave any info on how to take care of anything. My tests come out fine, but it is with strips. I am going to go out an get a drop test. Any help would be wonderful. Thank you.

Also, I have very large above ground pool. At least 10,000 gallons, probably more. I don't know if that makes a difference.
