It can’t. That’s a major exaggeration. Maybe if it’s indoors well insulated and you leave it on for a long ass time.

A washing machine is about 39" according to google. Nvidias DGX H100 systems use 11kw and are 14" tall. That is definitely in the ballpark of the pool heaters I find on google for pools of size 40 - 120m3.

I note that it's not just a basic data store, they're using it for AI and machine learning - these are extremely intensive activities and it's very plausible for that to generate a ton of heat.

Yeah I'm a bit skeptical as well, maybe I just need more details. The last pool mechanical system I worked on was sized for ~300kW of heat for a simple 6 lane, 25m pool.
