Auto cover in Winter

[Therapydoc]

I’m a new pool owner and first time closing is coming up soon. We have a 20x40 with apc auto cover. Do you guys raise the water level or leave it at usual level ?

Also what are your thoughts on a pool pillow or something in the center to give it a little more support. Anything to do to support the lead edge of the cover ?

I’m in southern missouri so usually our snow load is minimal but want to be prepared for anything

Do you have tile along your water line?

You don’t want water freezing on your tile line as the water will get behind the tile and break it or pop tiles off.

No we don’t have any tile work
