You can also use the pool for a heat sink for heat pumps and use a solar array to heat the pool to 50 degrees in winter (no freezing and the optimum heat transfer temperature for heat pump efficiency. Engineering kids. We're part of a group building a building. We don't drive the project nor is our part of the project an entity in a vacuum.
