How often do you guys do this? What different kinds of setups can you get? I've seen some water seperators and various other types of ----. I've just been draining the tank from the valve at the bottom every coupld of weeks. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks guys

I keep mine constantly bleeding. I have a vavle on the bottom and its cracked open a slight bit. Barely noticeable.

 

man, i havn't drained mine in like two years.

 

So it's only bad to have that water in the tank when I'm doing something like spraying a car, correct? If I crack it just a bit, I won't have a problem with my die grinder or impact wrench or anything? Thanks guys.

 

I dont notice any real issue with mine. Its cracked very slight. Its barely noticeable.

 

the water in the tank goes into your air tools and brakes them down, you dont put water in your engine only oil.
same with air tools, your saposed to oil them every few hours of usse and keep the water out of the lines, thats y u have water separators on your lines aswell.

ps i havent been oiling my composit ingersol rand and now its in the shop

 

If you are spraying a car you need aa good separator, or you will get bad fish eyes

 

i haven't drained mine since i bought it

 

I love when my air tools wet themselves on my arms when using them.

We never drain the tanks.

 

once a year, but I'm just a backyard trunk monkey.
