If you can run a black hose or pvc up on the roof and make abunch of coils, attach a low flow pump, cheap "sun" heat but looks renneck!

I made a big coil out of copper tubing and made it big enough to sit against the fire pit, same deal low flow pump.

ya don't want to do the hose deal , its for at the lake , making a coilfor the pit may work if they ever lift the fire ban , want quick heat

Are you looking for something like propane powered water heater or you want to use natural sun heat or electrical? Lots of options for all of them. How big is the pool?

i had some relatives that in the summer months used their furnace to heat their swimming pool. not sure how it all worked (i was pretty small at the time), but i know they kept thing like a giant hot tub.
