How many kw-hr/year do you use to heat your spa?

[Cindy_H]

We are doing a solar energy project and want to model in enough panels to heat the spa. Does anyone have an estimate of how many kW hr/ year they are using to keep their spa at temperature year round. If so, I would really appreciate you posting below:

• where you live
• what temp you keep the spa at
• how many kw hr/ year
• size of your spa
• spa set up (if not in your signature

And/or if anyone has links to calculators that will help you estimate this, I would appreciate you sharing the URL.
OR - I'd appreciate your thoughts on what I might need to keep an in-ground, 1000 gallon spa at 120degF year round in San Diego.
THANKS!!

CIndy, There was a thread about heat costs. I will look for it. See if you can find it as well. Maybe one of us will find it!
