# How to Drain the Cooperage 281 Spa
California Cooperage Spas were first introduced in 1972 as the first mass-produced Redwood hot tubs. Owners of these spas are able to use the digital settings to adjust water pressure, water temperature and jet direction. Cooperage recommends that users drain the 281 MAAX spas once every six to eight weeks to keep the water fresh. Fortunately, draining the spa does not require a significant amount of effort or expertise.
