Expectations for low maintenance / advice please

I am just at a month of use on my hot tub Waikiki Elite. I have the frog @ase system.
I filled the tub, shocked it per instructions, added the frog @ase system. I test the water once a week or so. I had the increase the hardness and some PH adjustment. I usually shock it once every 10 days or so using Spa Guard Enhanced Spa shock which says it is ok for a chlorine, bromine, ozonator system.
for 30 days my water has been clear, and the test strips all come out fine. I just replaced the chlorine on the frog @ase system. Minerals will be replaced in 3 more months.

I searched a lot and watched different videos and articles then I decided to buy this Lay-Z-Spa 60011 Vegas Hot Tub from here.
Made my winter bearably! There is nothing like hot-tubbing in zero with the stars shining. My 6-year-old daughter and 36-year-old wife love it. I am 6’10” and fit in it fine, it would be cramped with 5+ people in my opinion. We put a mat under the tub, easy to set up and fill, we watched a YouTube video to help us with setup.
It costs us around £30 a month to heat (we keep it at 20C) and use it just over twice a week. It was fine during the freezing weather.
The dog is curious and likes to jump on it but it’s well protected so he’s not damaged anything.

SPAM!!!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure it's spam as I believe he actually has one. The link though is not one I would have used if I was recommending a tub to someone. Maybe have an admin edit out the link. I agree a bump of a 2.5 year old post is suspect.
I certainly wouldn't be recommending an inflatable hot tub for someone looking at a portable hot tub.
Sammi:
Sounds like you describe wanting a salt water tub. I have both types and there's a learning curve to both. Once I learnt the salt water tub the maintenance is minimal. I live in an extremely cold winter (most days below 0⁰F) climate so I totally understand where you are coming from.
