Shop Air

ive got a 60 gallon upright with the hose plugged into the outlet. no water problems at all.

edit- dang it, thats twice in a row ive agreed with kopecki. whats happening to me?

I think if you put an inline filter in you'd be surprised to see the water it catches. I have used some of those disposable gel filters that change color when they get full of water and they don't last very long the few times I've painted something with my setup. I have 2 water separators where the flex line meets the hard line, 1 separator off of the air chuck, and one more on the paint gun right before the disposable filter.

Most of the time the air appears dry, but if you really get after something with the blowgun then drops of water start to show up after 5 minutes or so of continuous use. And this is in Dallas, its humid as balls down here.

Humid air is more dense, makes the impact work better.

I liked the water coming out of the impact at Brandon's old shop. That was real cool.

Water, not humidity.

You never filled your air hose with water and reconnected it to the air line to break something loose? hydraulic power > pneumatic power
