Re: Inexpensive air driers?
I think there is something that has been overlooked. Is the compressor really up to the task of all that blasting? If you are running the snot out of the compressor, it is going to make HOT-WET air. Fixing the wet part can be done but you may find yourself still with other problems (burnt valves, worn rings). A properly sized compressor with a factory aftercooler will deliver near ambient dew point air all day long.
The most effective band-aid (outside of a refridgerated unit bought or home-brewed) would be described below.
1 flex line out of the compressor.
2 to a copper line as far down the wall as you can at a slight downward incline.
3 mount your current moisture trap filter down at the end of the run in step 2.
4 option Motorguard M-60 or Wix aquacheck both less that $100
5 your current regulator and what ever piping or hoses you want.
That's just my .02
