Pool Heat Pump next to Air Conditioner

I'm about to install a heat pump for my pool. I live in Florida, but my pool is under a canopy of trees so it's all shade over the pool. I got a heat pump to bring up the water temps a couple of degrees.

It just hit me that my air conditioning condenser unit is constantly blowing out very hot air. The air conditioner is placed behind an outdoor brick square wall that's about 7 feet tall. Basically an outdoor room. It is on constantly and that "outdoor room" is pretty hot.

The heat pump will be blowing cold air. I was wondering if placing the two units in the same area might give each a bit of benefit. The pool heat pump takes advantage of the warmer air from the air conditioner and the air conditioner takes advantage of the cooler air from the heat pump to be a bit more efficient.

Does this make sense?

Yes it certainly should, I understand the need but wonder if you could use heat recovery from your AC to pass through a heat exchanger into the pool system? The only issue is you'd have to be running the AC in order to warm the pool.
