i have been using my compresser much more lately since i picked up a blasting cabinet.

i know its a small compressor, and it runs pretty often. its got about a 15gallon tank on it. i am going to plumb in another 15 gallon to help with extra volumn.

so, question is, are there any cheaper/easy/inexpensive ways to running a water trap/filter. i know desicatte filter is the way, but they are pretty expensive.
i have a filter/trap but with the pressures it pushes out 100psi, it just blows everything past and water still gets in the lines..
also thinking about putting it in its own room insulated with a dehumidifier...

so waht do you guys have, or recommend?

thanks

Heres this http://www.1969supersport.com/draw1.html you could do something on a smaller scale, anyway you need enough pipe so the hot air coming out of your compressor cools.

Run your lines so you can make the water run down hill into a trap. Then another line going up that will keep you out of the water. Then put your filter on the end.
