   Yes it is on a GFCI. In the video I show that it is tethered to the side of the pool. When it comes time to swim, the pump is turned off and removed from the pool and hangs on the outside. Thanks for pointing out that I should have stressed this more i the video.

   Make sure you have …
   Make sure you have that pump on a ground fault interrupter. You don’t want a toaster-in-tub scenario there.

   I had a pump like that fail, would have been a real shock hazard in the water if the interrupter hadn’t disconnected it first.

    i did the same, only i also made a large
    case were i put in the hose, and a plexiglass plate over it.
    the extra effect is that the case acts like a little greenhouse witch prevents the hot air from escaping, so the hose is getting extra warm.

    The output is about 85 degrees when the sun is out. The pool temp is hoovering around 80 degrees. Our average air temp has been about 67 degrees. Last year, without the heater, the pool temp was about 70 degrees.
