Heat above ground pool with immersion plunger
Just wondering.
Is there a risk of getting electrocuted using an immersion water heater in an above ground outdoor inflatable plastic kids pool that is just sitting on the grass and not connected to any pipe?

Electricity would be European 220V DC.
Thanks

Portable heater for warming water, coffee, tea, soup, and more. A perfect travel companion. Ideal for home, office or travel.
At 2000 watts it's not going to do a lot!

You could run that heater 24 hours a day and I doubt you will see much increase in your pool's temperature especially if the outside temperature is lower than the water temperature. Your heater can generate about 7'000 btu. Most pool heaters start at 100'000 btu with most pools needing much more.

Yes there is a risk of electrocution! But, you could heat the water when the pool is not being used. Unplug and remove the heater before anyone gets near the water.
You will want to make a float or stand to hold the heater under water but not let it touch the sides or bottom since I assume they are vinyl or plastic. Also a submersible pump or aquarium power head can be used to circulate water over the heater when it's operating.
