I tried several of the so called water filters/driers without much
success. The problem is the hoses were cooler than the air tank and
the water would condense in the hose.
I decided I needed to cool and condense the water out of the hot air
that comes out of the compressor BEFORE it goes into the tank.
I gutted an old 3 ton air conditioner and left only the fan and the
condenser coil. I connected this between the compressor and the tank
with a self draining water trap at the output of the condenser. The
fan runs only when the compressor is running. It works VERY well. I
can run the compressor for hours and get ZERO water out of the air
lines now. This also removes most of the compressor's oil mist from
the air.

Who has recommendations for inline filters on the air compressor, for
water and other stuff? And sources?
