Water in Compressed Air Lines: Causes and Fixes

Water in the air lines causes rust, tool damage and product defects, and it almost always comes from inadequate drying or drainage.

Why Condensation Forms

Compressed air leaves the compressor saturated, and cooling in the pipes condenses the vapour into liquid water.

Drying and Drainage

Confirm the dryer matches the flow and dew point, and check that separators and drains are working.

Fixing the System

Repair drains, size the dryer correctly and consider a lower dew point for cold or sensitive applications.
