How come I’ve never seen these for sale in the states?

Question by 24hrs: How will the temperature of a 16K gallon pool be affected by heating 250 gallons of it from 70 to 102 degrees?
Wondering if my homemade solar water heater makes a significant contribution to the overall temperature of the pool. Short video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIQqWnDR2Sk

Sorry, but just be looking at the relative volumes (16,000gal vs 250gal = 64:1) and the relative temp change = (32° F), it would appear that the overall temp change would be of the order of 1/2 deg F.

Comment =>used gal ratio as mass ratio & “water to water” specific heat cancels}
