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.

I hate to say it but I drain the water from my compressor every year or
two, if I remember. I'm guessing that's less often than what's recommended.
My older, smaller, Wally world compressor is nearly 20 years old and hasn't
been drained yet. It's probably ready to rust through.
