We have an approx 6x6 spa, gas or electric and how many BTU's or watts??

My Spa seats 5-6, not sure of the watts but I had a large propane heater and replaced it with this Hayward 11-kilowatt heater and we are much happier with it. If you go witht the Hayward make sure you have an electrician wire it. If you don't use the right gage wire you will ruin the heater and void the warranty. I installed the heater exactly the way the manual tells you to and we have not had a problem. We don't keep our hot tub hot. We generally turn the heater about 3-4 hours before we want to use it.

Electric, and it's 11-kilowatts. My half-moon spa is 12' x 6', 3, deep. Heats at about +4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour.

We have a 450 gal spa and it is a 11Kw heater. It heats about 10 degrees F per hour.

good to Hayward website and to see the proper size and degree rise in temp to determine the proper size heater

The manual states "at 1500 watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTU." I wish I could be more helpful. I bought my heater at the END of last winter and have not yet used it, but hope to beat the high costs of electric heat this coming winter.

Cannot answer the BTU maximum, but have been using for one year with a 440,000 BTU natural gas pool heater with no problems.

Choose between 9000 or 12000 BTU depending on your room characteristics (Use 12K if your room has extra heating or cooling loads as compared to a standard room).

Assuming you have decent insulation, you will need about 6 watts of heating power per sq foot. Electric baseboards pump out about 250watts per linear foot.12 x 12 = 144 sq ft * 6 W/sq ft = 864W required.This 6' baseboard outputs 1500W. So you are more than good.

This space heater has 1500 watts. I looked up the conversion on the internet for you and it converts to 5118 btu's.

Amps has been lowered, but that one doesn't make complete sense since Volts and Watts are the same. Amps * Volts = Watts

Please do not buy....read reviews. However the temperature is adjustable. I just bought a Hotspa 2 person spa. With all the bells and whistles and platform deck it was 6k. Heats to 107. Keeps its temperature while on massage jets. Low power bills, plugs into standard outlet.

This is for the "Pool". Look for Ecosmart "spa" size and I would go with their biggest one.

Hello, The maximum equilibrium temperature depends on the total panel area (number of panels) and the quality of the insulation in the system. For standard spas of about 300 gallons most customers use 6 to 8 panels. If your spa is smaller and/or very well insulated you can use fewer. Thank You, Heliatos Solar

General rule of thumb is 30 BTUs per square foot. This can change by some other factors up or down.

not very many. if it is the only heat, less than 100 sq-ft. ( mine is only 500 watts.) If it is supplemental heat, maybe then more than 100.

Depends on where you are located. I'm in NW. Indiana with a pool of 25,000 gal. They recommended a 250,000 btu for my pool but in doing research it was said that you can not buy too small. I installed outdoors and am very happy with the results. I can increase pool temp. by atleast 1 degree an hour and can maintain with a short burst daily. You probably should go with a 400,000 if I were you.

1/2 ton is 6,000 BTU's....this is slightly less. It's enough to cool a room up to maybe 150 sq ft if you're lucky

I find one hundred watts equals one thousand BTU for Air conditioners the rating Is different for Electric heaters. My Generator runs My 10000 BTU Air conditioner just fine but 15000 BTU would be pushing It, a Air conditioner during start up can use 2 to 5 times more watts than when running If the start up Is more than 3 times Its Not going to have enough watts to start the Air conditioner by technical numbers that Is so I do Not know It might work. Its best to have a generator that puts out at least twice the amount of watts that You are going to be using so that the generator runs cool.

Yes, but it depends on outside temperature and how well the building is insulated and air sealed. It's 5600 watts or 19000 BTU, that's quit a bit. It's going to use more electricity!
