Hi. Is it must be switch on whole time when air compressor switching on ? Or it is must be switch off when air compressor dont pumping?
I turn the unit on when I want dry air, painting and such. Leave the unit off for the other stuff, blowing out the shop.
Great install video, I should have bought this unit months ago when I had a 10% off coupon…DUH!!! I wanted to use it for spraying a DeVilbiss ProLite gun, hopefully it will help along with a desiccant filter.
Nice compressor and bikes there!!!
Not that it would helped, but could you have wired from the cooler back to the switch with the lights powered, then shut-down the power and make the final connection at the switch side last, with the power off?
I’m a new subscriber…and will try to keep future “Mr Obvious” comments to my self. Thanks again for the video and views of a great shop!
I think I see what you're saying, Start at the cooler then wire switch.
I still get the same amount of liquid out of the filters and water separators before the dryer. The end air is perfect.
I used a desiccant filter, regular size from Lowe's, it was just another water bowl.
Thanks for watching
Does the air come out cold far away? We spray lacquers and can’t have the air too cold for finish work.
I'll check it with a thermometer and let you know
Here is my maybe scientific, shop world, answer. I took a shoebox, stuck a thermometer in it and cut a hole for air to escape and places the box in the sun.
Ambient temperature 60°F
Temperature in box 70°F
Shop compressor full, blew air till compressor kicked on +/- 3 minutes
Plain air 60°F
Dried air 60°F
I'll put some pics on the community tab
How is this working for you rn thinking of buying it for my 60 gallon compressor but debating since I seen som bad reviews on it
No problems. Used it all day today painting 41 Chevy truck parts.
Do you have the part numbers for those quick connect fittings?
Parts used were from the RapidAir 1/2in 100ft Master Compressed Air Piping Kit Model 90500 from Northern Tool. They have parts in sets as well.
@@ELDESTBuilds Thanks! Still working well for you?
@@dlewis4647 Yes, I should have bought it long ago. Easy trick, if you don't need to run the bypass for regular air, just turn the unit off, BAM, regular air.

Not on the China side
Helpful video. comments and replies as well. Thanks.
Thanks buddy
I noticed you didn't install the bypass valve...is this a necessary component or will it operate as designed without...thanks!
When the dryer is off the air flows through as normal
@@ELDESTBuilds gotcha. Makes sense. Thank you!
Welcome
did you run the condensate line to a floor drain? Or is there much condensate coming out at all? I don't have a floor drain so I'm concerned about how much is produced.
The unit come with it's own drain line from a float bowl catch. It doesn't auto drain but when I turn off the air, the lines decompress and when I turn it back on the water shoots out of the machine, so it is drained about once a week.
Only a couple of ounces of water. I have it going into a pan for now. Going to drill a hole in the wall and shoot it that way.
@@ELDESTBuilds I really appreciate you replying. I need to get one. I know it depends a lot on how humid your air is and how often you use it. But do you run the compressor all day and do you get a couple of ounces daily or weekly?
I'm using the compressor all day. I've got 80 gallons of air. I get a couple ounces a week in the machine. I have two water separators before the machine. The first one fills a few ounces a day.
@@ELDESTBuilds Thanks!
💪👍💯
Thanks buddy
How's the air dryer working for you
So far it has been able to keep up with everything I've been working on. The tools don't spit water all over me and the parts anymore.
110 outlet?
Yes, no plug wire with the unit, direct line wired in. You could wire in a plug and connect to an outlet.
@@ELDESTBuilds thanks 👍
Welcome
@@ELDESTBuilds just got mine, was wondering if yours came with fluid inside temperature gauge? Their customer service wasn't able to answer question about it.
Looks like there's a tiny bubble on the top
Take the sock out of your mouth next time.
Thanks buddy
@@ELDESTBuilds lol, glad you can take a joke :)
@onjofilms no worries, not my first video
