Looking for help on anything I might be doing wrong to cause liner fading. This liner has seen 4 seasons and I noticed the fading last season. Just opened and attached is a good pic to reference. There’s pretty consistent fading where the floors meet the walls, but my biggest concern is the blotchy fading on the slope and deep end. I’m guessing it must be chemical related, so here’s my routines.
This liner has only ever seen 8% or 10% liquid chlorine, and I add it to the skimmer with the pump running at full speed. I keep the CYA at 40 and FC at 4. Have only had to SLAM at opening, taking FC to 16. PH will creep up during the summer and I add muratic acid slowly in front of the deep return when needed. I predisolve baking soda and broadcast in the deep end as needed to keep TA at 60. I use the Taylor kit and test 3x a week.
I love the TFP method and am pretty meticulous with everything so it’s driving me nuts that I have these blotches. I appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this, especially if I’m screwing up somewhere. Thanks!
