Fail - Husky Airline dryer filter

Fail - Husky Airline dryer filter - DO NOT RECOMMEND

So as seen in my last video that I posted where I was trying to use my air compressor to help dry off the lathe parts...and I ran into the fact that it was spraying water on the parts...which defeats the purpose of air drying them, I decided to try and find something to fix the air compressor water issue.
Well I now know to NOT buy the Home Depot Husky airline filte/dryer (1000 055 005) as the quality is crap, and in my case the o-ring in the unit leaks and so lets are through where it shouldn't.
I did not have the space in my setup for the larger air dryer solutions and even though I was not sure how to replace the desiccant in the small unit (and I am still not sure if that is possible), this would have fit...well it fit, but it leaks and so is garbage.
So I will have to figure out another solution, and will be returning this Husky piece of garbage to Home Depot.

I was strolling along and came across your video. I see you are strapped for space, but I think there is a solution. On the compressor side you currently are going directly to your hose reel I believe. What I might do instead is remove the regulator from the tank and attach a whip hose directly from the tank to the regulator which you would install on the wall. From there you can place a small manifold and attach a filter/water/oil separator. From there you can place your desiccant drier all on the wall behind your compressor. On the manifold side I have a valve so I can direct air to the desiccant when I need dry air or I can bypass the drier when I don’t. This saves on replacing desiccant. You can also reactivate the desiccant in your oven. Cheers 🎉

Thanks, but I already solved this in a future video where I added an after cooler setup instead of desiccant. My problem is that I cant add things to the wall, even with things as small as I have it...as I have to be able to have the flexibility to also roll the compressor out to the parking lot if needed for emergency tire fill ups. That is infrequent enough, and not knowing where in the condo lot we will end up being when needing air, so it has to be mobile vs just a long hose. Also, I do not have space for a second movable standalone portable air tank, so I had to keep everything onboard the compressor setup. The after cooler setup I made definitely works...I have filled the tank from empty 3 times now and zero water made it into the tank. :)

sometimes water likes to collect in tank, so check that

Yeah I have been draining that. I think the issue was it was cold and humid and I was using enough air that I left it run constantly and that was causing the issue.
