Thread: i have water in my air compressure

I have water in my air compressor, I have drain it a couple of times, and it still builds up, what do I need to do to get it out

Drain it out.
Seriously thats what you do. There should be a drain valve on the bottom of the tank. Condinsation is going to get into the tank unless you live in a VERY dry place, and the more it runs the more you get. You can put filters in line before your tools oil your tools often.

Besides a drain on my tank I have them at each drop so I can get the water out that gets into the lines

I got mine from McMaster-Carr Supply co.ph # 630-833-0300 but you should be able to get filters from any automotive parts store or automotive paint supply store. There are many different kinds I think if you do a search on here you'll find some guys even made there own. I beleave Brian Rupnow showed one he made. I guess it just depends on what your needs are. If your sandblasting with a small compressor your going to get a lot of water as it heats up fast and stays that way.
