Moisture filter for GX3
- Thread starter dens228
- Start date
I’m in Kentucky and have 2 of the model 3 , had one 2 years now . I use them to fill an impact m3 and a Leshiy 2 .
I don’t use a filter - maybe I should but with that said I’ve also had my guns apart many , many times and yet to notice any water or signs of moisture . I agree that nitrogen out of a bottle would be drier option but these seem to do ok . They are built strong and simple to service with parts available .
I use a 20” box fan setting against the compressor when I use them for additional cooling and stocked up on spare parts to keep them running from Target Forge back in the spring . Also had the compressor apart to repair the valve system . These are very easy to repair with videos on the utube .
Hate they are Chinese made but since this country doesn’t make products any more we are left with few choices in the compressor price range .
The fact these compressor are avaible today has changed the playing field for many who would never gotten into airguns because of cost of the compressor not too many years ago .

I also use the Xisico GTX Compressor on my three RAW HM1000x airguns and have not noticed any moister being generated by the machine.
Unfortunately, I have had these guns apart so many times - I know I haven't missed this issue
.
I make sure the pump never gets too hot, but consider myself to be a casual user of the machine.

Based on running the GX CS3 side by side with a Yong Heng, the water trap in the CS3 is significantly more efficient than the one in the Yong Heng. You might try running a small secondary filter with some color changing beads to see how much moisture is getting through.
If you end up adding a large water trap / filter, you will want to add a one way valve and a shutoff valve / bleeder like in this thread of mine, so you don't have to keep filling your large filter every time you fill a gun or tank.

No worries. You can delete messages you have posted other than the very first one. I make all kinds of errors, which is why I know about it! The Delete button is the third one on the very bottom of each post, under the text you post.
