I don't see the benefit here. In the summer you want a cool pool, and in the winter you need that heat to hit your house to reduce heating costs. Unless you live somewhere so warm in the winter that you still have to cool your house, in which case a pool would be pretty temperate and need no heating. If you've lived in a house like this, what's the energy benefit?
- bluGill 3y agoIn most cases the average temperature is a bit lower than what your comfortable swimming temperature is. Sure it gets hotter than that some days, but pools are very slow to heat up/cool down and so they generally track the average temperature not the peak temperature. (you are probably swimming when it is peak temperature, and not at night when it is colder outside)
- friend_and_foe 3y agoYeah I suppose. I enjoy the unpreditctability outside, it's a bit of a philosophical point for me I guess, I don't want the whole world finely tuned to keep me in my comfort zone. A nice cool dip, even a little uncomfortably cool, is exilirating to me.
