I do normal body work out of my 2 car garage. I use tools such as a 6″ D/A Sander, Inline Board Sander, 1/2″ Drive Impact Wrench, Sand Blaster, DeVilbiss HVLP Spray Gun, and a Media Spot Blaster. I currently have a Campbell Hausfeild 60 Gallon Compressor, and have terrible problems with water in my lines. I have a water trap that does absolutely nothing. I am now getting a spare 10 gallon tank for the air/water to travel to first, then am going to get either one of those Toilet Paper water filters, or am looking at a DeVilbiss Desiccant Filter/Compressed Air Dryer. Any opinions on which would work best? The TP Filter is about 80 bucks, and the air dryer will be about 250. Which is better or are there any first hand users?
I will be moving my 2nd tank away from the compressor/tank when I get one. Along with the filter or dryer. I just need to know which one to get.
And I currently drain the water from the main tank about every 30 minutes of use.

recently a friend of mine had the same problem, he tried the glass bead dryer first and that did not work so he went with the air dryer which proved to be alot better

The water trap has to be at lest 10 ft. from the compressor, they also have a valve that hook up to the to the bottom of the tank that work automatic and lets the water out
