Regardless of what anybody tells you, you need to cover your pool in the winter (except you year-round warm states). It's extremely important to the overall health of your pool. Also it will be less of a nightmare to open come spring time.
When looking for a winter cover keep a few things in mind. Winter covers get damaged over the winter, it happens. But there are several different strengths of pool covers to choose from. Mostly it's not the thickness but the stitching. You want a cover that has a tighter stitch. Look for cover that are more than 10x10 stitching if you can. Those tend to be the strongest covers and for some reason they are green in color or tan and black. Ask your local pool store for this kind of cover. Yes they are more expensive but you'll get more than one year out of it for sure.
Ground Cover
Every cover should also come with a cable and a winch. And each cover has what are called grommets which you lay the cover on the pool and over the sides of the rail. Then you thread the cable in and out of the grommets all the way around the pool. Then use the winch to tighten the cable securing the cover to your swimming pool. Make sure the cover isn't stretched across your swimming pool. Make sure it lays flat on top of the water and comes up the sides of the pool and over the rails. In the winter time keep a little bit of water on top of the cover to protect it from wind damage. This should help prolong the life of your winter cover.
Additional Note: Look for a winter cover that is 4 foot bigger than the size of your pool. If you don't have enough cover then the cover will be a tight fit and could ruin your cover and your pool during the winter.
