I have a water trap on my compressor and it still gets moisture in the line when using it. Its a Black Max 60 gallon. What do I need? Cant even run my sandblaster, just gets clogged up with moisture.

You can get in line water seperators. I run a small one directly on my sandblaster to get the moisture from the lines.

No mine isn't either, the small ones right at the device make a difference. Make sure to drain everything often. I put a ball valve and a hose on the bottom of my compressor for easy draining.

You need to run the air through at least 25 feet of line to let the air cool down so the trap will catch it. You should run it through a water trap,then through a desiccant drier.

Picked one up from Harbor Freight. Works good for what I use it for. Cheap too
