I wouldn't really see that much of a problem with it, yes it can shock you but thats why outdoor outlets are required to be GFCI's (Ground Fault Circuit Interupt). Also don't forget that waterbed heaters are designed to fail safe because some waterbeds leak as well. Realistically the probability of getting shocked would be relatively low. My question would be why would you do it, it would take ages to make any difference to the temperature of the water becuase most of the heating would be lost to the ground.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

When you're dealing with electricity, water is it's worst enemy! Unlike water beds, inflatible pools are subjust to tearing, leaking and splashing. It won't take much to make contact with the waterbed heater. Melting isn't the problem - it's YOU becoming a crispy-fry! Don't be foolish.

You're better off filling up the pool with a mixture of hot and cold water, or else let the sun do the heating.

Question on inflatable pools

Hello-

I was just wondering...I dont have much experience with waterbed heaters, so could you put one underneath an inflatable pool without worry of it melting?

Thanks,

G10
