What you're describing is a water source heat pump. You can only put so much heat into the storage water tank, then you have to dump elsewhere, lest you're taking showers 24/7. Once the hot water is satisfied, he'd have to dump the heat somewhere else, probably into tap/well water that then ran down the drain.
These are still common, assuming you have a cheap water source, typically a well. They can be cost-effective cooling system.
