I=E2=80=99m in central Texas with a 60 gallon compressor with a small point o=
f use water precipitator at my blast cabinet. EVen draining the tank daily t=
he precipitator About every 10 minutes. There is also a Dick sander running o=
n the same compressor. The compressor cycles so I=E2=80=99m using about 10 C=
FM. Much more water than I=E2=80=99d like.=20

Currently 93=C2=B0 & 45%

Howdy,

Are you painting or in a super high humidity environment or something?  My e=
xperience with compressors is that mostly I can remember to drain the tank e=
very now and then and it all "just works" without any elaborate coolers / se=
parators / whatever.

YMMV.
