I was over at a buddy's house the other day, and he asked me if I wanted

back, and he only needed one.

Nifty!
What will the plumbing look like?
A valve on the bottom to flush the liquid
through an orifice, driven by a timer?

Or something?

I would expect something of that sort as a mate used to design truck air
brake components and desiccant air driers were in the product line. The
system would have a small air receiver to hold enough air to purge the
desiccant and it would be controlled on a timer to remove excess
moisture cyclically. The desiccant would eventually need to be replaced
but the desiccant can on the one I have is like a large oil filter and
screws on and off.

Ok... really small. And... yeah he is a buddy. Somebody I often as not
give small things to when he needs them, but still. It was nice.

Indeed.
