Available and Heated Air from Warm Spaces and/or Exhaust of Air Conditioners from Residences or Buildings for Use with Heating Water of Nearby Swimming Pool

Abstract

A system for supplementing the heater for a swimming pool comprises the use of a heat exchanger for the heat generated by an air conditioning evaporator or condenser. The system can also recover and use the otherwise lost heat of an attic and redirect the same to augment the heating of the water of a swimming pool.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system for heating the water of a swimming pool by use of pumped water from and back to the swimming pool comprising a heat exchanger of the heat from any one of an attic; an attic air exhaust and an evaporator or condenser of an air conditioning system. 
     
     
         2 . A swimming pool water heating system comprising:
 a) a pump for drawing water from and returning water to the swimming pool;   b) an internal space air conditioning system comprising an evaporator or condenser unit;   c) a heat exchanger between the exhaust of said evaporator or condenser unit and the water from said swimming pool.   
     
     
         3 . A system as claimed in  claim 2  wherein said heat exchanger is integrated into said air conditioning system. 
     
     
         4 . A system as claimed in  claim 3  wherein said heat exchanger is a component of said evaporator or condenser. 
     
     
         5 . A system as claimed in  claim 4  wherein said heat exchanger is a component of a water cooling tower for said air conditioning system. 
     
     
         6 . A system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein a thermostat is provided to control the temperature of the water provided to said swimming pool.
