I live in Raleigh, NC and have an indoor pool with a Covermatic automatic pool cover. In the 7 years since our house was built we have installed 2 Covermatic automatic covers - both have degraded wherever the cover wrinkles when it is retracted. We now need another cover since the latest one is leaking and we have standing water on top of the cover. This is a pool that uses little chemical (chlorine, muriatic acid) since it has an ozone filter and ultra-violet filter.
Can anyone recommend a high quality automatic pool cover that will last more than 3 1/2 years - and perhaps an installer who can correctly install the cover and service it if needed?
 
Been there done that.

I think it's the fabric width that matters. Wrinkles are OK, but once they turn into creases, you're looking at fabric failure. I asked my cover installer to reduce the cover width by ONE INCH and that reduced the number of creases. All my covers eventually die, but reducing creases adds maybe a year of life.
