I'm near Shreveport, LA, and use WalMart's ultra bleach. I don't notice anything different about it. I suspect that the cloudiness in your pool is probably dead algae that hasn't filtered out yet....remember, the bleach kills it, but doesn't remove it from the pool. The filter takes care of that. I would leave the filter running 24/7 and brush the pool daily to get it all suspended in the water so the filter can get it all out.
