The best way to position pool jets is slightly downwards (this is so the water that comes from your filter ends up at the bottom of the pool where disinfection is the strongest and then pointing in such away as to encourage a current that coincides with the skimmer that way more surface rubbish is removed before it sinks.

I would point them so that they rotate the water in a counter clockwise direction past the skimmer in the Northern hemisphere. Hatawa

Do you still need to run your vacuum 8 hours a day if you are keeping the cover on and the pool is not in use?
if you have closed your pool down for the winter (i.e. winterized it) then no. you should have put in a good dose of chemicals & if you live in an area the freezes you should drain the pool an inch or two below the water jets so you won't be able to run the pump anyway

Does skimmer location matter on an in ground pool?
Yes it can make a big difference to the amount of floating debris and dust that sinks into your pool. The ideal place for the static skimmer in a pool is down stream from the return jets (These are the jets that return filtered water to the pool) and down wind from the prevailing winds, this can be a bit more difficult to work out as the wind direction over a pool is strongly influenced by the building surrounding it. The fact is that very few pool builders get it right. if the skimmer ends up in the wrong position there is always the option of using a floating swimming pool skimmer skimmer. this type of skimmer is set to the suction of the pools filtration system and connected via hose to the vac plate over the leaf basket, It can be fastened in place or left to float free in the pool and will keep working regardless of water level, Check out the link below on floating skimmers
What steps should one take to store and/or protect an above ground swimming pool over the winter?

Best water circulation is when returns are set 45 degrees downward What to do when vortices appear that defeat the skimmer?
The best way to beat this problem is to replace the return jets with a ninety degree setup that had a larger opening than the eyes that you find in the return jets. these can still be pointed downwards, along the wall of the pool and give very good control over the direction of the pools currents, which in turn gives you more control over the skimming.
