MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture is a normal by-product of compressing air. As the moisture builds during compressor
use, it can be carried through 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.
