Should get a heat pump to move heat from your house to your hot tub
You joke, but integrated systems that can actually do this do exist.
Don't think my house has enough heat in it to do that very well, but I guess if it used both my house and surrounding air then it might work alright. Some days it's hot enough you could just use a heat exchanger to warm a pool nicely.
How hot do people want their pools normally? I am used to just swimming in the sea which is 8-18c here.
