    How practical would it be to extend the condenser and run that through the swimming pool water circuit ? i.e.

    Cool the house and heat the pool.

    Quite practical, however you may need a size or two up on the compressor size, to cope with the higher friction experienced in the longer lines. Also most units are designed to work up to about 31 or 32 degrees C at the condenser side.

    Question is, do you want to use a heatpump or an aircon? Using an aircon you would have to fit a heat-exchanger to warm the water. Using a heatpump you would need to install ducting to the house which can be diverted in the winter.
