You must first DRAIN the water off the pool cover!! Get a hose or plastic tube (available from most pet stores (fish department) and syphon off the water. This will take th weight of the water off the cover so you can lift it off of the pool.

What do you do if the bubble under your pool cover pops and your pool is already covered with ice?
Typically you really do not need to do anything. Many homeowners winterize their pool every year, without even using an air pillow. Not using an air pillow will not harm your pool in any way, even in climates where freezing temperatures occur.For the most part the benefit of an air pillow allow the water on the top of the cover to collect more towards the outside of the pool, rather than the center. This helps keep the cover from flapping in high wind situations. Which can help with the lifespan of the pool cover.It is not necessary to use an air pillow, and there is no reason to be alarmed if your pillow has deflated. Your pool will be just fine in the Spring!Charlie Goss DPD PoolsCorrect AnswerWhile it is true that you can do very little once the pillow is popped, the above answer is otherwise incorrect.The proper name for the pillow is "Ice Equalizer Pillow"If you are in an area where ice may form on your pool it is suggested that you use an ice equalizer pillow under the cover. Those pillows are for keeping a hole in the middle of the ice, and not so much for holding up the cover as is a common misconception. The use of an ice equalizer pillow may can help reduce the chances of ice damage if your area is prone to freezing. If the pillow is overfilled with air prior to putting it into the pool, the pressure placed on it from ice expansion on the surface of the pool can cause it to pop. When the pillow s filled it should be filled loosely - you should be able to easily press your hand into it about 12 inches. When you tie it in you should leave some room for the pillow to shift slightly. Overfilling with air and tying too tightly are the two primary reasons for ice equalizer pillows to pop.Of course, in areas not prone to freezing, the pillow is only there as a convenience and serves little purpose othter than that stated on the first answer, which is to help keep the water toward the edge.

Helpful Tips for Maintaining Pool Safety Covers?
Pool safety is extremely important for you and your loved ones. As much fun as a pool in your backyard can be, a pool safety cover for the off season is an absolute must. Here are some useful tips to put to use on your pool in the off season. The portion of your pool or deck area that will come into contact with your pool safety cover should be protected by padding. Neglecting the padding can cause friction between your pool cover and the wood of your deck or the metal edge of your pool. Prolonged friction can cause your pool safety cover to wear down or tear. Be careful maintaining your pool, even if the pool safety cover is in place. Keep your pool safety cover taut, and if necessary make adjustments throughout the season.
