Hot tubs are an increasingly popular investment, but when buying a hot tub there’s a lot to consider – from the size to the water filtration system – to the costs of running the hot tub. In this article we’ll look at what you should think about when getting ready to buy a hot tub.

It’s vital to do research first

Buying a hot tub is a big decision, and unsurprisingly, it requires a lot of research to get it right. You’ll want something which fits your budget – but also suits the needs of your family and the property itself. A hot tub will always end up being a large investment, so you’ll want to make sure you do the proper research before embarking on getting a hot tub.

Should you buy a hot tub?

Well, the first question is – are you going to be using it on a regular basis? If so – then yes, buying one is a great investment.

Hot tubs have a huge range of benefits. These include Hydrotherapy: the water jets produced by the hot tub provide an incredible stress relief, as well as help for joints, sleeping issues, pain relief, improvements for blood pressure and general cardiovascular health.

For many, hot tubs for sale Glasgow are a fantastic escape after a long day at work. The long-term benefits of consistent stress relief are superb.

Hot tub jets and pumps

The hydrotherapeutic effect of hot tubs is a result of the water jets used, providing the relaxing massage effect. A common misconception about hot tubs is that it’s the number of pumps and jets that provide the effect, but it is down to the specific kind of jets and the power available from the home.

This means when selecting a hot tub, you’ll want to look at the quality of the pumps rather than the actual number of jets.

How much will a hot tub cost?

The cost of a hot tub can vary hugely and will depend on several different factors. Size, the kind of installation (permanent or in-ground), landscaping required, and the models will determine the cost. An installation can cost between £4,000 and £9,000 – but a high-quality model will last well over two decades with the proper maintenance and care – making it a proper investment for your home.

Cheaper hot tubs should be avoided; the quality of components is often very low, while they lack the same comfort of higher quality models. For example, the water jets of lower quality hot tubs tend to be weak – meaning the hydrotherapy benefits are significantly reduced.

Running Costs?

Hot tub running costs depend on,

• The size of the hot tub
• The insulation
• The capacity of the hot tub
• The heater

Hot tub costs tend to range between £7 to £20 a week to run – usually costing more during the winter. But the cost really depends on the environment and your use of the hot tub.

Hot tub filtration systems

It’s important to look at how a hot tub model will filter water.

Hot tubs tend to use several ‘pleated filters’ to catch any grease and dirt. Pleated filters will catch and trap any debris that may enter the hot tub during its use. Basic hot tubs use filter systems to capture contaminants in the water, but it’ll be necessary to use chemicals (such as Chlorine, granules, and bromine tablets) to clean and purify the water.

Other common systems in hot tubs are CLEARRAY and Ozonator. CLEARRAY sanitises the water using UV-C light – which sanitises the water and stops the development of any bacteria. This means you use significantly less chemicals in cleaning up the water, as UV-C light can kill up to 99.9% of bacteria – ensuring the hot tub remains in a pristine condition.

Ozonator systems are another water purification system which uses an ultraviolet light to convert oxygen into ozone. The ozone will kill any bacteria, contaminates, or waste in the water.

Hot tub entertainment systems

Many people see hot tubs as a great investment for the added entertainment value – such as music players. Not all models come with these systems, however, so you will need to check to make sure a hot tub comes with these systems if you’re looking for one.

Many hot tubs offer the option of Bluetooth music systems.

What size?

Hot tubs come in a huge range of shapes and sizes – meaning they’re suitable for a whole range of properties. At the same time, you’ll still need to consider how large your garden and property is and the access you have to it – as this can determine ethe size of the hot tub you’ll be able to have installed.

You will also need to think about how many people you’ll be having in your hot tub – the largest hot tubs can easily fit nine people, but if you’re not having regular parties and plan more private use, then smaller sizes are probably more suitable.

Because of the range of sizes we provide, you will always be able to find something suited to your needs.

When a business or individual fails to pay back an outstanding debt, it often becomes necessary to bring in the experience of a debt recovery lawyer.

Finding the right debt recovery lawyer is important because it can help decide the difference between a quick and cost-effective recovery or a long, drawn-out recovery process which proves expensive and unsuccessful.

Oracle Law are highly experienced, highly trained professionals when it comes to debt recovery. Our team have helped resolve everything from simple invoice recovery to the settling of contractual disputes and loans. We aim to maximise the recovery of money owed to you from debtors.

In this article we’ll look at the reasons why you should enlist the services of a debt recovery lawyer. 

1. A lawyer’s letterhead is often more than enough

In many cases, it is possible to resolve an unpaid debt purely via the letterhead of a solicitor. Many debtors are inclined to pay up immediately if a lawyer or solicitor is involved because they are aware the situation has escalated and may end up dragging them into a court case, which they are eager to avoid.

This means a letter of demand sent from a lawyer’s office can be invaluable. It is a great way to make clear to a debtor that you are serious about recovering the debt owed – and this is further made clear if the letter indicates you are ready to begin commencing court proceedings. Often this is enough to recover the debt, ending the problem early on and resolving the issue without having to proceed to court.

It is also important to note that many courts will expect you to have attempted mediation outside of court before they begin any kind of proceedings regarding your debt. Having a lawyer to help mediate therefore is vital.

2. Getting a Professional approach

Like any legal or financial matter, debt is a complex matter and there’s many factors you’ll probably be unaware of when engaging with the debtor at first. By having a professional lawyer in charge of the matter, you will not need to worry about these matters and can leave much of it down to the lawyer. Furthermore, you will not need to worry about your company or business suffering damage to its reputation; an expert law firm will negotiate and mediate in a stern but professional manner; they will not harass your debtor – but make clear your legal rights to the debt.

Therefore, it is vital to look at the experience and achievements of firms before making a choice. Oracle Law has extensive experience engaging with debt recovery in a quick, concise manner – and has also engaged in debt recovery on a variety of levels, from invoice recovery to recovery during insolvency situations. This kind of experience is invaluable to call upon and can massively reduce the complexity and difficulty involved.

3. Avoiding Hidden Fees and Commission Costs

Lawyers follow strict rules for disclosure when it comes to what they can charge. Many debt recovery lawyers provide services at a fixed rate – meaning you’ll know up front exactly what you are paying.

4. If matters escalate, having a lawyer is vital

While settling the matter in an out of court dispute is always the favoured option, if a matter does go to court, then having a law firm on your side is invaluable. In fact, attempting to escalate a matter without one becomes much, much easier. An experienced, effective debt recovery solicitor or law firm will know exactly how to handle the process from beginning to end. This includes commencing the proceedings to then taking the difficult steps to enforce the judgement (which is often the hardest part).

Oracle Law have a swathe of experience in settling in court disputes over debt and can guarantee the quick resolution of the problem. Furthermore, we will never have to refer to third parties for assistance in recovering the money once a judgement has been made.

5. Quality Legal Advice

The complexity of debt recovery is hard to understate; there’s a huge number of factors you’ll need to keep in mind when approaching the recovery of your money and not to mention, several pitfalls and potentially difficult situations which can emerge if you aren’t careful. Without legal expertise, you could easily end up costing yourself money or find yourself making errors with paperwork and delaying the process. Even engaging in mediation can be difficult without a lawyer, so it is vital that you can call on professional help when it comes to debt recovery. 

Furthermore, if you do get to the court stage, debtors will likely attempt to dispute the claims to avoid paying the debt and try and raise the suggestion that your claim is invalid or lacks reasoning.

Having a qualified solicitor in these cases is invaluable; they can provide clear cut legal advice about both the strength and validity of the debt before you begin incurring any costs to try and recover the money. Because solicitors at www.oraclelaw.com are trained professionals, they can also provide you with the best avenues of approach for recovering the debt and help you formulate the best possible strategy.

Prime Secure CCTV Towers provide a modern, advanced form of security superb for building and construction. Here we’ll talk about some of the major benefits you can get from our remote monitored CCTV Towers and services.

What exactly is a CCTV Tower?

A CCTV Tower is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Prime Secure provides towers which mount a 7ft pole carrying a camera with a 360-degree field of view. This is a high resolution, 4K camera which records at 60FPS.

The Benefits

Here are only a few of the benefits of a CCTV Tower System.

Remote Access and 24/7 Recording

Want to know what’s happening on your property? You can, and you can know at any time and from any place with the use of our dedicated CCTV Towers app. This provides you 24/7 access to the camera feed. Not only does this mean you can inspect your site if you’re alerted to any trouble going on, but you can also inspect employees work and any health or safety issues. 

Furthermore, our towers record 24/7 at 4K, 60FPS. This provides a clear, crisp image and provides valuable footage in the case anything does happen. This is vital not only for providing the police with evidence of any criminal activity, but also provides evidence in the case of any accidents or other incidents that occur on site. Furthermore, with a solid 4TB of storage, you’ll never need to worry about space.

Reliability

A CCTV Tower is by far one of the most reliable forms of security, with its consistent recording and sturdy frame. It’s key you can know that your CCTV Tower will not only function well but is reliable too. Well, at Prime Secure not only do we provide regular maintenance and check-ups, but we’ve worked hard to ensure your CCTV Tower is always functioning as intended.

Wireless, Mobile Security

Traditionally security CCTV Systems required extensive infrastructure to be set-up, alongside a mass of wires and cabling – which could often be intrusive. This is especially true in construction, where the actual state of the environment the camera is operating in can range massively in terms of actual infrastructure and utilities. This in general could make it very difficult to set up a CCTV system, and furthermore, make it very difficult to move the system if the site required it (which given the changing nature of a construction site was often the case).

With Prime Secure security towers, this isn’t an issue. There’s none of the wires or cables required. Our CCTV Towers either carry their own generators or batteries, meaning there isn’t a demand for the same kind of infrastructure or utilities requirements. We also offer an eco-tower option. This mounts a set of powerful solar panels, as well as a wind turbine. Not only does this cut the need for a generator out of the equation and cut down on carbon emissions but removes any reliance on utilities you’d previously had.

But the biggest benefit here is mobility; the towers simple, compact design means that it can be moved and adjusted as you see fit.

Advanced AI Analytics and Monitoring (H3)

Prime Secure CCTV Towers bring with them deep learning AI technology. This provides an incredible benefit to any client who makes use of our services, as they can rely upon smart learning technology to monitor their property for any suspicious behaviour. AI monitoring is incredibly precise and avoids many of the pitfalls and errors of human observation and security services. The moment it picks up any suspicious behaviour, you can be sure it will

Saves Money on Manned Guarding Services

Manned Guarding Services are widely recognised as an effective security measure – but they can prove expensive, and Prime Secure’s CCTV Towers offer many of the same benefits but for a cheaper overall price.

The main benefits of Manned Guarding are deterrence, quick response times and a human presence on the property. The biggest problem is that it’s very costly in the long term – especially if the property is large.

With CCTV Towers, deterrence is guaranteed. Many criminals will avoid any property mounting CCTV cameras, especially towers. They are aware of the potential to be prosecuted if they’re caught on camera. CCTV Towers also ensure a quick response – when combined with a monitoring station and AI analytic alerts, any criminal activity that occurs will be quickly reported to the police or a mobile patrol, meaning a quick response by security services on the property. While CCTV can’t offer a human presence on the property, it is indicative to criminals of a future one and as such can be far more effective than simply having guards stationed.
