I have a RTC in a 90 gallon tank. he was in a 55 before, and i know he will outgrow the 90. i do not want to buy a huge tank, so i was thinking it would be best to keep him in a swimming pool or giant tub when the time comes. my question is, how are these setups kept? how would i heat the water of swimming pool? what would be the best way to filter it? sump tank? I live in the northeast so i have to make sure the water can be heated properly because it can get very cold.

If you're going to throw it in the pool, basically you're turning it into a pond. Buy a pool heater. Make sure to use something like Prime (a lot of it) to eliminate any chemicals. Filtration would probably be a couple of bead filters.
im not sure how big of a pool though. I was thinking just a kiddie pool. Also, what is a bead filter?
This is a site that sells bead filters

I thought you actually meant a swimming pool, but if you're talking about a kiddie pool, that's something else. It's still going to out grow a kiddie pool. You're looking at a monster cat that will get over 3'
