Thread: Paint air supply setup

For infrequent use the small screw on desiccant filters are okay, watch the crystals for changing color as they become saturated. Depending on conditions your compressor could push a lot of water, or a modest amount.

For cnile, if you're going to hardline mount a "permanent" unit, try to set it at least 20 feet away from the compressor to give the air/moisture a chance to cool and condense, it will work better. Here's a picture of what I have right now. I went the extra step of putting in a mechanical separator ahead of the desiccant unit to try to trap some of the water particles and prolong the life of the desiccant sack in the bigger unit..........they aren't cheap, but I am.
