Could we run a water line through it from the water heater and use it as a supplemental water heater? At least we would be using that energy for something then.
Yes

they already sell appliances that do that. Daikin Altherma line, for example, can combine A/C, sanitary hot water and home heating.
In summer it takes heat from the inside of your house an puts it in the water tank. In winter, it takes heat from the air in the atmosphere and puts it both inside your home and water tank.
