Which winter cover should I get??

The biggest problem was that water still would sit on the cover but since there was not one pillow just in the middle the water would sit mostly to one side. He had to keep a close eye on the water levels. Luckily we had a mild winter so the water didnt really freeze much and he was able to pump it off.

I on the other hand used the one big pillow in the middle and my water evenly spread around the pool.

But in my case, the pillows would cover the entire surface of the pool. I can deal with water collecting on the cover, that's easy enough to pump off. It's the leaves that I'm trying to avoid. I'm hoping that this setup will allow the leaves to dry and blow off, or be blown off by a leaf blower, and not have a chance to settle on a cover that needs to be pulled out of the pool.

While I do get worms in the pool I don't get leaves under the mesh cover. The person with the solid cover and automatic pump does sound nice though. I did get something that must have laid in the pool all winter because I opened and noticed a small stain on the bottom.
