I have the C-Aire listed in one of my first posts. I'm not saying it's a top of the line compressor, but I'm pretty sure it isn't junk. It was roughly $1k, at cost. I have an automatic drain, a 1" Aquacheck & Coalescent filter at about 15-20 feet, and a 1/2 or 3/4" (can't remember) at my drop after another 50 feet down the line. My compressor is mounted outside in a shed, so I'd imagine that has to help the temperature of the air as it enters the building. During the summer, maybe not so much. So... I'd like to point out right now that I haven't had a water problem at all, just the pressure drop. Down the road I'd love to get a rotary compressor with a dryer, but that's just not in the cards right now. I'd love to have everything that's the best right now, but I can't. I have to make do with what I have. Profit is going into fixing up my shop, but this is an after hours job, not a full time thing for me. I have a wife who is a stay at home mom and 2 kids, my money isn't all mine.
