Yes driers do exist but they are very expensive. You can get regenative
descant driers or refrigerated air driers. Both are too expensive for home
use. The best way to keep your compressed air dry at home is to drain the
air tank on a regular basis, use inline filter seperators and if you can
talk your wife into it you place the air compressor in an air conditioned
area and run the air line outside to your work area. If the air your
compressor takes in is drier then you will have less mositure problems with
the air you use. If you cannot do that you can help by having a fan blow on
the air compressor tank while you are using it. This will help to cool the
compressed air in the tank and will help to condense the mositure out of the
air in the compressor tank where you can drain it out of the tank and not
pass it on to your work. Or you could home rig a section of copper tube
coiled in a bucket of water to cool the air and condense the moistire out.
You would place the coil of copper between the air compressor tank outlet
and your inline filter seperator, you would then need to drain the filter
seperator often to remove the water. basicly what you need to do is to cool
the compressed air to condense the moisture out so you can drain the water
out before you use the air. Hope this helps.

Anyone have an idea how I can keep the moisture/humidity out of my
compressor and lines. I've tried a filter trap and an inline filter and
they don't seem to last. I've heard of a line drier of sorts before but
have no idea where to find one or if it really exists. Gets frustrating
trying to use my blaster and things keep clogging up!
