Quick question.... Does 35 FC level effect liner fading? If not what level does

A high FC does not effect the liner as long as the FC is matched to the current CYA per the Chlorine/CYA Chart (link in my sig). The CYA not only protects the FC from the sun, but also protects the swimmers and parts of the pool from the harsh effects of the chlorine. So when a CYA is high, the FC naturally needs to be higher on the chart and visa-verse. As long as the two are balanced together, it's no problem.
I am on day 9 and have not seen hardly any change. Maintaining 33 ppm FC. Have pH 7.6 cya 85. 120 TA. Testing 3 times per day it dropped to 28 once other than that has been within a couple of 33. Beginning to think i dont know what I have be doing although this is my 16 year with pool.

When I had to do a SLAM, it took me two weeks to complete. I helped a friend with his issue, and his took THREE weeks. I won't say that weeks is common, but it does happen.

If we round up on CYA that makes 90 which would be a SLAM level of 35. Not that 2 ppm should make a giant difference, just pointing it out.
How's your CC?

It is actually meant to be encouragement. Don't give up after 9 days. Once you get it sparkling, maintenance will be far easier. There's nothing worse than when someone thinks their water is clean, but it turns out they have a hidden algae problem they didn't know about, which makes maintenance hard.

Hey there, You doing good... The CC going from .5 to 1.5 is a good sign, your making some greenies unhappy and they are dying off... Some pools just take longer and sand filters are usually the longest but they are also the easiest to clean 
Showing some improvement on day 11. Went from 36 fc this morning to 28 at noon

Is that your Polaris in there? You should probably take it out. The high FC is not recommended for them.
