: What is the best way to hook up an in-line air/water
: filter to keep water out of air tools, especially
: paint spray guns. I have a 4.5hp Campbell/Hausfield
: roll around compressor and installed a filter sometime
: ago directly at the tank but still get water when using
: it for lengthy periods like sandblasting. I looked
: at smaller filters for eliminating water but can or
: should you screw it right into the tool you are using?
: I drain the water condensation from the tank at least
: once a week, more often if I'm using it regularly.
: Any advice?
If it were a stationary tank,I would run a steel
pipe from the compressor across one of your shop
walls, having it rise about a foot from start to
finish. Put your water trap on the lower end and
your filter/regulator on the upper end of the pipe.
The best way to remove water from compressed air
is to run the air through a chiller to condense
the moisture .The is the best way but may be too
exspensive.
