I had one of these on my system for about six months.  Eventually scale 
and crap built up on the guts of the dump valve and it started leaking, 
and I took it off.  Most of the parts are sitting in a can on one of the 
workbenches.  I'll probably eventually put in one of the electric timer 
models, probably when I move the compressor to a shed behind the shop. 
For now I just open the valve on the bottom of the tank when I remember.
