[QUOTE="user name, post: 305774, member: 1719"] No problems? Problems were there. No matter the size of the tank, the water accumulation is proportional. Its a system, and every part is important. Its not like you just plug it in and fill some tires. I dont want to bore everyone, but heres a check list. Compressor. You can greatly control moisture by not placing it in a humid location. Basement is a bad idea. If you must, at least run a dehumidifier close to it. You also must have an auto drain. Timed or cycle with the compressor. Its a must have. If its not oil free, you are getting oil in your air supply, so... Oil/water separator. Just what it says. First component you need. Dryers. Refrigerated is a good start. Run the lines to your point of use, then get it real dry with... Desiccant dryers. Replaceable cartridge type is nice. Id suggest two. So its dry, but now you have some microscopic particles in the air from the desiccant... Polishing filter. Get it clean! Ney Filter/Dryer is a good package, but there are others. The last step is maintenance. [/QUOTE]
