So I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience of these heaters in
this type of pool, and whether its really going to heat a 10ft x 2ft
circular pool.

Given enough time it will warm it up a bit, I know someone who ran
one continuously on a larger pool for several months last year with
the thermostat set to 28deg. The major heating came at the end of
the season when they got their electricity bill. The heater isn't on
this year.

Also bear in mind that it isn't something you can just plug into an
extension lead and forget. Electrical installations near pools are,
quite sensibly, governed by quite strict installation rules as the
risk of accident is high. Electricity and water don't mix.
