If it is hot water heating system then you should be able to with some
creative installation. The problem is going to be finding someone
willing to do that. How complicated will depend on if you want it to
be thermostatically controlled for both purposes and easily
switchable. I'm assuming the boiler supplies heating, and any potable
hot water is either independent or done with a heat exchanger. The
boiler will be overkill for the pool probably but that doesn't mean it
can't be made to work. The boiler warrenty made be voided by running
pool water through it though. A more expensive alternative would be
to use a heat exchanger for the pool water similar to the ones used
for potable water.
