Water in my Hand pump

[Dave19113]

Went out to the range today to do some more shooting... I use my hand pump, an Air Venturi. I noticed, after about an hour of shooting, that there was a little bit of water residue in the hand pump. I noticed it when I had the valve out and was pulling up on the pump to let the pump rod sit in the air to cool in the breeze.

I pumped it a few times which cleared any water left out.

It was very humid out today so I figured that might be a factor.

Is this something I should be concerned with? Should I pull my air tube apart and wipe it down?

Is that an Axsor air venturi or a G4 Air venturi ?

Those are respectively FX and Hatsan pumps, I usetd to have 2 Axsors and both collected a lot of water, the Hatsans where pretty bad pumps too, I had 3 of them.

All it says is AIR VENTURI - MADE IN SWEDEN on back side right above air release valve. The front just has pressure gauge. The tube is green handles are black rubber without any sort of filters on them. My friend bought it at yard sale for $5.00 so I gave him 50.00 for it just because the new ones are 200.00.

It works really good. I have a carbon fiber tank but air fill is an hour away so I try not to use it too much.

My shot count is low so Id rather use the hand pump but if water will be an issue then I have to look at other options.

I was so paranoid that I pulled apart my air reserve. There was a little bit of condensation in the tube. I wiped it out reinstalled the regulator ( I wanted to lower the regulator slightly anyway so no harm there) lubed the seals and filler her back up.

that's the green one right ?

I used to turn them flat after use with the hose facing down and pump a bunch of times to expel all the water

Thats what I started doing before and after I fill.... hope that gets rid of the excess water

What I did-
FD pump, has air in on both handle ends-
Remove rubber handles cap the handle end with a 90` elbow
QD fitting then QD on  desiccant moisture filters,
 with frequent servicing by DRYing them when ever they show any signs
AND keeping them capped when not using the pump
Humid to me is any above about 15%
