Yeah but he's not heating the pool, he's using the water from his water heater which is going to be ~120 degrees?

So is it ~$32.00 if he fills the whole thing from the water heater?

Cheap enough but still sounds like a pain.

Personally I'd never turn down the opportunity to spend the day on a DIY project, read: drinking beer, using tools, wife leaving you alone cause you are doing it "for the children".
