Open loop. Where you run the pool water up in the panel and dump it right into the pool.
I wouldn’t tie it to your domestic water because they are 2very different problems
Pool :water 58 f raised to 75. 17000 gallons, sterility not a big deal, seasonal,
Hot water 58 raised to 125 or higher, 120-500 gallons, sterility big deal, year round
So open loop is more efficient for small temp rise.
