Why do you have water in the air lines?

I don't have an Aldi compressor, but I do have half a dozen of their
drier / filter units. They''re cheap enough you can dot them around
the walls of the workshop. You can also afford to dry the air both
before the pipework, and afterwards. Seems well made and the price is
certainly good.

I note that their hose reel units are also cheaper now (40 instead of
45) than they were two years ago. I bought one then, knowing I'd want
one for the new workshop and "they'd only go up", but still haven't
taken it out of the box.
