Right you're talking about an air source heat pump whhich transfers heat from the air to the pool water
Thay are normally exposed to the external atmosphere draw heat from the air and expell the cold air with the fan
In cold weather they ice up and automatically defrost which is the water you see (like a refrigerater in reverse)
If it's inside a tent you are restricted on the amount of air being introduced into the unit and mixing the expelled cold air with the warm air
I would move it outside
