Load calcs for both the house and the pool are necessary. Unless it's a very larger load for the house, the boiler may not be sufficient for the pool.
Using a CI boiler to heat a pool is not a wise choice and will require boiler protection controls. It will also require the chimney to be properly lined and insulated. A mod/con would be less expensive and more efficient.Bob Boan

@SeanBeans I did a similar project up the hill from you with snow melt, radiant space heat and outdoor pools and hot tubs. We estimated the switch to mod/con would save them 20%. When we saw the actual year over savings it was ~32%.
