[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 457697, member: 2580"] I forgot to mention that I have moisture knockout pots everywhere in the system. One right off the compressor, another where the lines branch out, a third one on the air inlet to the cabinet, and one on every portable pot or gun. The climate where I live is usually humid, and if you don't knock the condensate out of the air, it will entrain and slobber on the piece you're trying to prep. Nothing good comes of oily, wet air getting into your media, or on a workpiece. If I blast for 2 -3 hours, the compressor runs almost all that time, and I will drain about a cupfull of water (with a little oil sheen) out of the knockouts. In that same time frame, I'll blow a quart or more out of the tank drain, so it's catching most of it, but not enough. I also burn a 25 -40 watt light bulb 24/7 in my cabinet to keep the media dry. Works. Tom [/QUOTE]
