we just got an 18x9x52" intext above ground. its all set up except the sand in the filter(its out there and dad will do it tomorrow, I have a back injury and not allowed to lift that much).

I've been reading about bleach. is it regular laundry bleach people are using and why? what purpose does it serve?

I've been a little frustrated at the lack of guidance in the instructions as to what to do next.
