Moisture is a normal by-product of compressing air. As the moisture builds during
compressor use, it can be carried though the air hose. When using paint spray gun
or sandblasting gun, the use of a special filter to remove moisture from the air line
is highly recommended. Moisture in the compressed air will cause water spots in
paint jobs and cause blasting media to clog the sandblasting gun.
