It was a joke...

Back in the early 80's, my grandfather modified his pool pump to send the filtered water out through a series of black pipes before pouring back into the pool. The sun would hit those black pipes and heat the water going through them. I'm not sure how much of a difference it made overall, but the water coming back into the pool was hot to the touch. I guess every little bit counts when you're trying to have a pool in northern NH.

actually, people do that where im from. in the dry season, its still sunny but the pool water is quite chilly. people set up an array of black poly pipe on their roof. basically a cheap-arsed solar hot water system. so you dont spend any money on heating the water. dont know how long they last, but i did have to pull one down on a job i was doing once. that was a LOT of poly pipe...
