that's one idea, do you have more ?
Yes, that would work. But realize that the water will heat up. How much it will heat depends on how fast the container can loose heat. Probably not as fast as it is added. So the water will continue to heat up. Again, how long it takes to get to hot, depends on how fast heat is dissipated. And you don't need any special pump. In fact, a larger pump will just add more heat.

A better idea would he an underground "heat pump" type setup. You lay a grid of pipe underground and use the natural cooling of the earth as a heat sink.
