Congrats, consult with your dealer but in general you can shock more often and supplement with granular chlorine when you have especially heavy usage.

Prior to each use:
One teaspoon of Sodium Dichlor Chlorine.
Once a week: 3 teaspoons of Sodium Dichlor Chlorine.
Use a FreshStart prefilter (goes on end of garden hose) when filling spa.
Use a FreshWater silver ion purifier or Natures2 cartridge and change it at every fill.
Buy a Taylor K-2006 Test kit to check your water for Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, pH and Available Chlorine (That should be in the 3- 5ppm range). You may need to buy chemicals to get the water balanced. Take notes on how much of each you needed to add, so the next time you fill you will have a good idea what is needed.
You can use test strips for day-to-day use. They are quick and easy and accurate enough for your Chlorine use.
Leave the cover open or, at the very least, half open when you shock the hot tub. This will prevent damage to the pillows and keep them under warranty.
Buy some filter cleaner and be careful with the ceramic filters. They are expensive and can crack if dropped on a hard surface.
If you didn't order the tub with Ozone, I suggest you call your dealer and add it to the build. That and the Silver ion cartridge will help oxidize contaminants such as deodorant, soap, perfume, etc. With the ceramic filter, Sodium Dichlor, Silver ion cartridge and Ozone generator, you'll have a first rate water care system.
Good luck with your new hot tub!
