Looking for air filter for compressor

I have an 80 gal. 2 stage machine from Atlas that works like a dream. The problem I'm having is with water in the lines. Seems after the machine cycles a couple of times, it creates water in the lines due to the increase in temperature. I do alot of media blasting, da sanding and continues use that causes the machine to heat up the top of the tank. I also plan to tackle painting my project pretty soon and water in the lines will not do.
What are my best options to remove unwanted particulates and water for blasting and painting.

These work well and replacement filters are cheap. desiccant filters work well too.

Re: Looking for air filter for compressor

When you install a filter,put a drop leg with an automatic drain in before the filter.It will help keep the air dry and clean and make the filter last much longer.You could also use an air line sryer but I doubt you can afford to buy or run one.
