Compressor, Water Separators, Rubber Line

Fellas -

Did a few searches and found some info on setting up hard lines in a shop/garage from the compressor to the tool end. My problem is that I'm active duty military, and will only be here for 1-3 more years, so I'm not inclined to plumb the garage with hard lines.

My setup right now is a 33 gallon 6 hp Sears compressor and the flexible rubber hose. I use it to run air tools, blast cabinet, and may try to paint with it, too. Right now, the water in the line does slow down the blasting process a bit.

Any info/ideas on where/how to minimize moisture in the rubber line?

Thanks!

Scott

You can buy black 3/4'' black pipe in different lengths, just drive a few nails in the studs and tie wire it up to the wall, then when you move just unscrew it and take it with you. Something like this, http://www.1969supersport.com/draw1.html so its sloping somewhat, enough to cool the hot air out of the compressor.

Anyway just a thought.
