Uhhh grammar check?

No problem 👍

I thing the blue cap of the separator should be up and the part with the water extraction needle should be down. That way the water has the most volume to accumulate before needing to empty it and least change to end to the brass filter part and "bypass" the extractor.

clear side is air in blue side is out ..Just like a see through gas filter on a car ..The gasoline comes in the clear end and is is filtered through the out side of the filter.... bronze on air ...usually paper and or screen for gasoline

90 psi is rated pressure according to HF

Thanks for watching

It does seem to do the job .I like that it is compact and easy to use .I want my new air tank to stay water less since it has no drain

This filter keeps water and oil right,not just water.l hope l understood right . Thanks for the video.

@@sancak099 yessir and dirt too im pretty sure

I never go over the rated PSI on anything but i run this at 125 PSI since I never seen a rating on it

@@not2fast4u2c I ended up about blowing my oil separator up when it got too hot by the output of my compressor.

@@not2fast4u2c The Harbor Freight Tool website says "The handy oil/water separator works at 90 PSI to prevent condensation from contaminating air tools, keeping your air tools operating at peak performance." Does that mean it's not effective at over 90 PSI? Dangerous at more than 90 PSI? Or since it's a cyclonic action inside the unit that also not effective at UNDER 90 PSI?

The bottom fitting will unscrew the top part and it comes apart and seals back put some beads inside it

I have taken mine apart to clean it ..not a bad filter for a cheap one

your comment saved a filter from being discarded due to having little metallic pebbles from the tank inside it. thank you.

That would disrupt the entire mechanism in which the water seperator functions and make it essentially useless.

@@jsplasha i don't think it would tbh , you could really just put the whole bag in it , would do the same thing but i think it has a little needle under the filter that can be pushed in i guess it's for draining the water inside?? It does have to be taken apart sometimes tho to clean it there is always little trash in it like little dots basically dirt 😂

Yes

If you are carefull you can take these apart I have had mine apart several times

@@not2fast4u2c , great thanks. It's just as easy as taking a ballpoint pen apart and I got it cleaned perfectly, thank you very much.

No Idea on that ..something came in from your compressor ?

That's blasting shot or beads. It's used to smooth out the finish on cast metal parts. It often gets trapped inside compressors and regulators etc, if the manufacturer does not clean the parts sufficiently before assembly.

@@davidaston1644 thanks for the info.

I have some water drops What is weird is I just hook it to the hose I get a bunch of water coming out the end getting past the filter

On my compressor, the outlet is directly below the pump. So when the pump has been running and gets hot, the outlet also gets hot. The compressed air flow also picks up that heat, which means the moisture in it remains vaporized as steam for a longer time. Condensed/liquid moisture is easier to separate. But steam molecules blow through the separator's stone filter with no problem. Several things you can do to make separators do a better job. But whatever you choose, the key is to cool the air as much as possible before it goes through a separator or dryer. The more moisture you can cool and condense into liquid, the more effective your removal will be. Here in south MS, 90% or more humidity is the annual norm. Without a filtering system, my compressor becomes a pressure washer--especially during the cooler parts of the year when it's easier to reach reach due point behind the hot outlet. I have 3 different strategies in place, and I get clean dry air very reliably: 1: I have an 8 foot air line between the outlet and my filtering. This gives the air some travel time in order to cool down. 2: Before the dryer, I have a what I call a "forced condenser". It's constructed the same way as my dryer. But instead of containing desiccant and absorbent mix, it is stuffed with stainless steel scouring pads. As the air passes through, the water molecules crash and deflect against all of that. This randomizes and scatters their paths, causing them to collide with one another--which doesn't happen easily when all moving through an air hose at same speed and direction. When water molecules collide with each other, they "clump", which is effectively condensing. 3: Instead of a stone filter separator, I have an absorbent dryer immediately after the condenser. Close as possible to not allow the water molecules time to re-atomize into vapor. Also, I don't use only desiccant in the dryer. I have it layered. Bottom layer is a super-absorbent polymer mixed with fine-strand pulp. On top of that is the largest layer...standard desiccant silica gel. Then at the very top, another layer of absorbent/pulp mix. The idea is that silica gel easily loses "grip" on water when fast rushing air passes through it. But the super-absorbent polymer truly does absorb and trap it permanently. The pulp fiber makes the absorbent more effect because it is much faster...it wicks the water from the silica gel and acts as a buffer while the absorbent is a little slower at permanently bringing it in and locking it down. All of the above, I constructed as DIY, using household water filter housings as the canisters. The absorbent and pulp mix, I get from el-cheapo disposable diapers from the local dollar store. Cut an diaper in half, turn the halves inside-out like you would a sock, then scrape out everything contained. That's the complete mix. Works AMAZINGLY well, too.

Watch the video again look for the valve that is the same as un a car wheel

Does the little needle that can be pushed in drain the water?

I do not know ..I know how to take them apart and clean the brass filter part so my will last a long time

Im not sure tbh but i kinda wanna say it can last forever untill you dont like it anymore , from clear or paint ruining the clear view inside the filter , which can probably get a buff , but i just found out how to take it apart and clean it from the inside it had a lot little dirt pieces or some sort of little black dots super small and re installed it , it confuses me how it filters tho it makes no sense.

I agree..On any clear filters like for gas filters on an engine The gas always comes in on the clear side and then through the filter ..That way you you see all the junk like rust in a fuel tank

In the first 35 seconds of the video I said why I had the fittings this way to stick it on my reserve air tank At 2:00 I show it stuck in the hose from the air tank

@@not2fast4u2c Is that your way of calling me retarded?

@@billybobjoe198 No that is my way of explaining why I had the fittings like that ..If you think I insulted You go back to your first comment Where You were wrong telling me how it should be done .

@@not2fast4u2c I think you took that the wrong way.

Why would manufacturers of many pneumatic tools and parts not come equipped with NPT male plugs and female couplers? Maybe cause they don’t know your configuration and leave that part up to you 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
