A couple of years ago I purchased a Loop-Loc mesh cover, I previously had a solid winter cover held down with waterbags. I hated pumping the water off of that cover and raking the leaves off of it. I was in heaven that first winter with my new Loop-Loc cover, no pumping, no raking , wow, it was great!

I was shocked when we opened the pool that first year, it was a swamp. It took me every bit of 7 days to get that water clear. I now hate my cover. There are 2 other Loop-Loc cover types, one is solid and comes with a pump, the other is solid with a few mesh panels to let the water through, but not as much sun. The latter is the type I'll buy when this one needs replacing.
