air brush spitting water

[Guest]

Something tells me it is not the water filter causing the problem. Why I say that is my filter hardly has any water in it at all not enough to see but a slight wetness on the finger when I release the valve on rare occasions. My compressor is in a garage & Jersey has an RH of 87 which is very high.

Also have an in line filter & that never ever has had water in it. I may say that not disagreeing with anything here just wondering if we are missing something. Interesting to hear if others have much water gathering in their water filter.

People from all over Europe America down to New Zealand use this forum "cut & fold" so you are not a stranger here. Like the time you have spent on explanations many thanks.

the compressor in the photo is identical to mine except for mine has a tank under it, never had any water in the filter as such but if i use it for extended periods and i am talking hours, i can see condensation in the filter but very small amount.

With the tank one Andrew I think you will find there is a drain screw under the tank. Just drain the tank of any build up of water every now & again.

I use it for Hours upon time when weathering because i build up the work if that makes sence, its only after time it starts spitting water.

After reading what people have put i am putting it down to the excessive work im making it do and its getting too hot. im going to try one of the inline filters to see if it helps !!

Regret to say Hibbs that the chap who looks after my Air Brush needs told me if it is getting hot it is knackered !

Also that is why it is probably spitting water.

Have you tryed draining the tank of any moisture build up ?
