Default mosquito breeding control

"john asked,
Would the filter take out wrigglers? I doubt that salt would be a
deterrent; some of the meanest mozzies I've encountered launched
their attack from a brackish lagoon behind a beach."

yes they love brackish water

it could possibly but i reckon that is not the reason why the mossies
don't use the pool to breed in. we don't run the filter as often as
they say to we find it not necessary and want to conserve some power.
i was thinking maybe the salt and or chlorine or together deterred the
beggers?

anyhow most suggestions just me thinking out loud in case something
might fit, got to sound out all options for this unsavory issue your
friends have, can imagine the mess when a pool co' goes belly up. when
we ahd our pool built payments where progressive so as to be sure if
something happened we did not lose money as well. but anyway lets hope
a solution fo the more permanent kind is found for them.

we are having a wet winter also at the moment, bit of a drag realy but
not going to complain, as in short order the dry seasons could return.

is it a slachlor pool? or should i say will it be.
