MOIStURe In COMPReSSeD aIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous
use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When
using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORtant: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially
when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the
Breather
sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A filter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
