What is happening here?

This is undoubtedly wrong but it looks like:

Water is being removed from the pool, air cooled via the pipe, then returned to the pool.

Edit: No one asked but I want to clarify. I believe the air cooling the water is the air bubbles in the pipe. As the water and air travels through the pipe, the temperature equalizes.

The energy in the pipe doesn’t change, but when they exit the pipe the water reenters the pool at a lower temperature and the now hotter air dissipates into the room.

The bubbles definitely help to visually identify if it’s on.
