Last year, I had my CYA lower, my ph higher and although I had to add bleach a lot, the water was crystal clear.

Any idea where the cloudiness is coming from? I thought it might be dead algae, but the filter should have taken care of that, right?
What did you use to shock with? You don't give a hardness level, but with high pH and alk, if you used cal-hypo to shock and have a high hardness level, it may very well be a calcium cloud.
