Is there anything to keep water out of an air compressor tank?

It's a real pain to drain it everytime.

Thanks,

Sure, chill the air to get the water out of it. You can build a box and
use a large room air conditioner. Can probably do it for less than
$1000 and a setup about the size of a refrigerator. Oh, on cool days
you will have to heat the air first, then cool it.

Get a proper drain setup on the compressor. There are automatic valves
available.


You must be joking.

I could pay someone far less that what you are proposing.

No, I'm not joking. You really have to do some work to remove the
moisture from air that is going to be compressed. That is why air tanks
have drain valves. Much easier.

Can't change the laws of physics.


I agree it would take a lot of work.
