Designed for precision applications like spray painting, it features easy maintenance with a quick-release bowl and quarter-turn drain, all protected by rugged metal guards. Ideal for professionals and serious DIYers aiming to extend tool life and achieve flawless finishes. ## Description The Campbell Hausfeld air cleaner/dryer system (PA208503AV) cleans air and removes water vapor at the point of use to help support applications that require oil-free, moisture-free air, like spray painting. Two separate systems condition the air: An oil-removal filter traps 99.9 percent of all oil aerosols, and a desiccant system removes water vapor. An outlet screen keeps desiccant particles from entering the airstream, protecting air tools. The desiccant changes color when it needs to be changed or recharged, providing an easily visible reminder. The cleaner/dryer system includes a quick-release bowl for easily viewing the fluid level and is protected against impact by metal guards. A quarter-turn drain makes maintenance easier. Finish your projects faster and easier with Campbell Hausfeld. The Air Power Expert ® Review: Bought this setup for painting my car at home. Worked great. I also purchased a $37 CH moisture trap filter and ran it ahead of these two. You could run a second moisture trap depending on humidity. I painted my car last weekend over The September long weekend. It was overcast and 25C. Not sure on humidity. I painted for a couple hours, 3 doors and two quarter panels. By the end of it all my desiccant beads were pretty much done. They had gone pink anyway. But considering it’s probably about $5-10 worth of dessicsnt beads that you can purchase it’s not a big deal to change them out. Maybe if you have a professional shop you’ll want something higher line with less maintenance(like the ones where I work). But for the odd job at home or even a small shop, if you don’t mind getting a container of dessicant beads and changing them out every car you do, these are great. Note: some may complain it only lasted 15 minutes. This is only part of a good air drying system. Without a moisture trap filter to remove the bulk of the water from your lines, obviously you’ll kill the dessicant filter. Another note: you don’t need this filter or at least a dessicant filter for general shop tools. Dessicant filters help remove moisture for things like painting. If you’re just running this in a shop for tools you’ll be burning through dessicant beads for no reason.
