So what are you saying? Asking her for an $80 loan is out of the question?

I had been using the small desiccant filters from Harbor Freight and they worked well, however I now use this one that I picked up on AmazonI also ordered the 3/8 to 1/4 brass reducing fitting from Amazon that I needed to hook it up to my air line.This setup makes it extremely easy for me to change out the desiccant beads as they absorb moisture.JeffWhen you say small filter, do you mean the little red throw away ones (2.49) or the 7.99 inline one, from Harbor Freight?Thanks Bill C!
The $7.99 harbor freight inline filters. I was using 2 of those between the compressor and the shoebox and it worked well. I wound up getting the one from Amazon because it's larger and much easier for me to change out the desiccant than it was to do with the small ones. I could change out the desiccant in the smaller ones as well but it was a bit of a pain to do. I also use an inline micro screen moisture filter in the line as well. Jeff
If you plan on running the 1st stage compressor, inside your house, recommend looking at California Air Tools or other low-noise compressors. I ran the small HF pancake compressor mentioned above ($40 on sale), which is very noisy like many oil-less ones are. I switched to a 4610S CAT ($150). Very quiet. You want something that can supply 125psi to get the fasted fill rates. I use the same coiled HF hose, two HF inline, and the $60 HF oil water w/desiccant. I recommend a larger desiccant filter for a freedom, especially if you are filling larger tanks. Those run around $100. Also assorted male and female compressor fittings from HF. I also have a "mini" gold filter for the high side, but really haven't convinced myself it is needed, yet. I have numerous mods to my Max which you will not need with a Freedom.
