Dear friends,

In the past years a bunch of small biting flying insect (maybe No-see-ums ) are invading the enclosed pool. They fly pretty slow, i can easily kill one (if I see it for instance in front of my bright phone). I think the mesh size is probably 16x14 ( although i just carefully counted and I see 15 cells per inch by 13 per inch cells) but upgrading to 20x20 is not a smart idea because water is already cold enough and I don't want it even colder (finer net blocks more sun). What do you suggest? Do not suggest a fan, i don't wanna electricity and cables around the pool. I am so so annoyed by them, it starts to be unbearable. Also, I have a bunch of lovely lizzars that I think enter put under enclosure doors (I can see light under it), what is the best rubber to put under the door? I feel insects enter from there as well.

Well I was going to say a fan.............I DO understand why you would not want that though. I have nothing else though but will think about it.

Look for this for the bottom of the doors. I would screw it on instead of the tape/glue as that would be mess to get off if needed:
