No, practically speaking.
It is true that the action of the pump will generate some heat by friction - rather in the manner of Joule's classic experiment to determine this link - but what little is generated will be lost rapidly from the surface, especially in an outdoor pool.
[Joule set up paddles on a shaft in a barrel of water, rotated by a system of weights, cords and pulleys; and measured the temperature rise over many cycles of operation. By painstakingly repeating the test many, many times and endeavouring to account for frictional and direct thermal losses, he established the essential conversion of mechanical energy to heat. The unit of energy is the Joule, in his honour.]

Do black bottom pools keep water warmer then a normal pool?
Yes. We had a black/brown pepple tec installed over our stained concrete pool and it does make the water a little warmer. Not significantly but noticeble enough to enjoy a quick dip.
Will a dark pool liner make the water warmer?
Absolutely. After replacing my white liner with a dark blue one I notice a difference of 5-10 degrees in the pool water depending on the amount of sun we are getting.
WHAT IS Re-Circulating Pump?
It is a unit that takes water and pushes it through the filter and returns the water back to the pool.
What is the best care for swimming pool?
One of the best ways to prevent problems with your swimming pool is by running the pump and circulating the water. The best care for the pool varies depending on the type of pool you have but keeping proper water chemistry is important for any pool.
Why is sea water warmer than swimming pool water?
Well, large bodies of water take longer to heat or cool than land does, so a swimming pool will be a bit cooler... ... I think so....
Why is the wear so warm ina saltwater pool?
it is an illusion. salt water pools have softer feeling water and may put you under the impression that it is warmer. however there is no difference between a salt water pool or a fresh water pool.
What pool color will keep the water warmer?
nothin to do with the colour ; it depends on the weather and also the chemicals mixed with it
You are scheduled to winterize the pool next week but wont use the pool from now on so can you turn off the pool pump now to save on running costs?
Sure you can turn off the pool pump, the water won't be circulating anymore but since you are not using the pool it does not matter. Make sure the outside temperature is above freezing until winterizing because non moving water freezes earlier than moving water. Here is my blog on how I handle my pool: http: //live-efficient-green.blogspot.com/2009/07/pool-with-no-harmfull-chemicals.html
Pros and cons of medium gray pool?
It gives the pool a different look than standard white. It can also be splotchy and mottled. It will not make the water warmer. This is purely and aesthetic choice. I particularly like the way 8 oz. of blue and 2 oz. of black gives the water a tropical look.
How long can you leave concrete indoor pool empty of water without causing problems?
An empty pool of water is fine for several months, if it is made of concrete. Longer than that, and it could start to grow bacteria over time, especially in warmer conditions.
Can you use chlorine in a pool without a filter?
Yes you can add liquid chlorine to a pool even if it's not circulating
How large can a pool be before it needs pool filters?
Pool filters keep the water circulating and algae out of pools. So, any size pool you pick that you want to remain bacteria free would need a filter. Usually a pool that is put up for long term use would need a filter.
