The number of BTUs required to heat a hot tub depends on its size, the desired temperature increase, and the ambient temperature. On average, it takes about 4-6 BTUs to raise the temperature of one gallon of water by one degree Fahrenheit. For example, heating a 400-gallon hot tub from 50°F to 100°F would require approximately 80,000 to 120,000 BTUs, depending on the specific conditions. Always consider factors like heat loss due to evaporation and wind when estimating heating needs.
