Of course a water droplet passing though your paint gun can ruin your whole=
 day, but other than that I'm with you.

Howdy,
Are you painting or in a super high humidity environment or something?=C2=
=A0 My experience with compressors is that mostly I can remember to drain t=
he tank every now and then and it all "just works" without any elaborate co=
olers / separators / whatever.

YMMV.
