    The granules I'm using are calcium hypochlorite. The bleach I bought is 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.

    I haven't seen 5.25% bleach sold for years. If that is what it is, each quart will add about 3ppm of chlorine to your pool. Once your cal-hypo is gone, I'd just stick with bleach for now until we see what your CYA reading is.
