I know this probably has been debated ad nauseum, but I could not find anything in the archives.

Could someone review the relative advantages and disadvantages of chlorine vs Potassium Monopersulfate for shocking?

I can guess that cost is a big factor, but Im thinking in terms of effectiveness, effects on pH, etc.

The problem I run into with chlorine is
1. having to lug gallons and gallons of bleach.
2. getting cloudy water with Ca hypochlor
3. Adding too much CYA with dichlor

what are the negs of Monopersulfate?
