It occurred to me that if heat energy becomes free enough, you could use it
to sterilize a swimming

pool by putting the heater in the circulation pump line and boiling, then
condensing the water back to its

original temperature briefly as it travels through the plumbing.   A
circulation pump can be on the order of 

100 gallons/minute, so it's still lots of power, but most would be recovered
during the condensing phase.

There has been some discussion here as to whether you could heat an Olympic
pool to boiling with a 900 W heater. The answer is no, you cannot. In fact
there is no way you could even detect this much heat with that much water.
As I mentioned that is the heat from two people swimming. That ...

electricity is more efficient for that:
Adamant Technologies SA have developed a technology to clean water with
electrolysis and doped diamond coated electrodes.

It is under chapter11 because they could not find their market, and real
application like water for baby was too disruptive for the big players like
Danone... they step back to organic pool cleaning, but it was not enough...

some patent may be sold

you can see there what happen to a technology that could change the world
by giving easily save water to babies... Big players helped much by
cowardliness and desire not to cut easy sales.
