Heat pump heating pool and cold side as AC

I was reading another post talking about heating their bath with a heat pump. It got me thinking why don’t warmer countries in Middle East and South East Asia heat their swimming pool with the heat pump and hang the cool external unit indoor for cooling?

Loads of covered sockets

Hi just bought a new flat, it’s an auction so didn’t have much time to fully diagnose the place before exchange. These are the covered sockets I found on one wall, there are many more and roughly about one useful sockets to one covered.

Why are there so many covered sockets? Anything I could do about it to make it look better? Thanks?

I’m not a plumber or tradesman just interested in getting a heat pump. I understand heat pumps have lower temperatures thus need bigger radiators. The heat survey assumes an external temperature of -3c which is rare in southern parts of this country, for example I live in London and getting under 5c is rare even at January 4am.

If the radiator sizes are not too far off wouldn’t it be ideal to keep the original radiators, add a radiator booster fan and only turn it on when it’s actually subzero? My understanding is fans can add 50% heating power to the same radiator and I have never heard of anyone getting fans everyone just go straight to new and bigger radiators.

Cheers
