Most tubs are pretty simple to maintain, unless people are using them in lieu of bathtubs. You take the sample in so you get it right the first time, as they will know your starting point. An ahead phone call always helps so they will expect you. They will want your future chemical and possibly repair or maintenance business.

It's not very hard at all. You should be aware of two things with hot tubs in particular. Warm water needs more bacteria killing agents than cold water pools and don't store all your chemicals in the same place. The chemicals may react when mixed causing dangerous results.

I had all the chemicals and the pool was there and (it was summer) I wanted to use it. I ended up calling the local pool installing company in my area (they were also a pool supply store). They had people that would come out to your pool and set it up for you and explain to you how to use them chemicals and testing kits. You may want to call someone so they can come out and make sure the hot tub is working correctly and also they will let you know how to care for it.
