I've tried 2 different water seperators on my compressor and they s$$k. Been running it about 4 hours a day with 1/2 hour breaks each hour of run time and I'm still seeing moisture at the connection fittings. Drain the tank each day before beginning.

Need a tried and true recommendation.

The only way to get rid of all the moisture is to run it through a dryer. For one build prob would not be worth the expense, unless you are planning on painting it yourself.

Just Google air compressor dryer

Whenever I start painting I need to use one of these. It gets rid of all the moisture even down here in FL. Filters are cheap as a roll of toilet paper. Not what I'd consider long term use as the filter will get moldy if you leave it too long. I think I paid $95 for it. Very well made.
