Our pool still has the original liner that was installed in 2004 and has also gradually faded below the water line. Although due to the pattern it's only really apparent when the water level is below normal. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is the chlorine used to sanitize the pool. I'm thinking that although good liners may be chlorine resitant, over time they will fade (this is just my guess).

I'm also interested in what others with more experience have to say about this.
