You guys that use lots of air, what type of water separator(s) do you use and more importantly,,,,,,,,,,,do they work.
I've been fighting water in the air forever. Tonight I was using a die grinder and water was coming out the exhaust like a faucet almost. I've got dual filter/separators and even had an inline desiccant deal right at the air tool. I drain the tank everytime the compressor is used and the relative humidity this evening is low (under 30%). i use high flow ends and couplers so the air volume is high, if it makes a difference.
This is what I have now. The first one has a sintered bronze filter and the second one is a paper like material, sort of. Maybe they're just too small(?) Bad enough with air tools, really sucks with paint.
