I know all of the safety concerns, and inefficiency arguments I'm gonna get, but I have to satisfy my curiosity, so here goes...
Would a immersion heater placed in the skimmer piping heat the water flowing enough to just gain a few degrees within a few days for a 22000 gal in ground pool? I am considering a DIY solar heater, and solar blanket, but I have some experience with immersion heaters in industrial equipment and I started thinking about 110vac drop in heaters. As long as the pump is running, it should circulate some amount of heated water, correct?
If you couldn't tell, I am very new to pool ownership, and I can't be the only one to think of this type of thing.
Thoughts?
