Title: Moisture accumulating in your system or gun's air tank?
Post by: TeddP on May 22, 2022, 11:41:39 AM
Just curious if this is generally a problem.

It can be, but I have good desiccant filters on my compressor, so I'm not worried.

Are your filters on the input or output side of your compressor?

Generally, it is a problem if one does not take the right steps to prevent it - depending on what one is doing in terms of compressing air.  There are some good guidelines we can share, if we know what you are planning on doing . . .

 Water gets wringed out best on the HP side of a pressurizing system.

It has a lot to do with the amount of time the air spends in the filter. On the intake side, you need huge filters to get appropriate residence time in the filter.
Mine are on the HP outlet side.
