It absolutely drives me crazy...

Here in upstate NY we have the house central AC going starting around mid-May and run it through mid September. But our pool usually doesn't get warm enough to swin in until late May early June. Late June through mid August is optimal for swimming and late August the pool begins to cool significantly.

Why can't I just dump the heat from my house from May-mid June and mid Aug-Sep to the Pool???!!!

If you live in Tampa you practically have the AC on all year long, no?

Many home geothermal heat pumps put heat to (or pull heat from) a body of water (pond/lake/ocean). Why can't pool water be used for this. Sure, one would have to make sure that the plumbing is done in a fashion so that the Chlorine in the pool does not corrode the condensor/evaporator but this just seems soooo simple!
