I purchased an Air Venturi from PA. Some bright specialists, both sponsors and members, have spoken about the importance of the air going into our PCPs be without moisture. Does the Air Venturi have a filter supplied with it that does an adequate job of removing the moisture? I will add extra filtration if it's needed but obviously don't want to experience the expense and hassle of doing that if it's not necessary. I do shoot a couple of nice rifles. I have a FX T12 Whisper and a FX Royale 500. I would like to keep as good care of them as I can. Thanks.

I’m not sure what the Air Venturi has as far as filtration. I’ve said this to many others all air rifle compressors really need a cartridge type of air filter/moisture removal. The one one I use is the Alpha filter It come with something on it that keeps the pressure in it from leaking out if the compressor shuts down unexpectedly I had looked extensively to buy this at a better price but could find only one company that sells it, that’s why it’s costly.
cartridge this is the one I use

The cartridge is only $28 it’s the pressure case that’s expensive ($300-$400) if you get one it must be installed vertically, that’s so any excess moisture that’s not absorbed will be at the bottom and drain away if left horizontal the filter will fill with water faster.
i wish all air compressor sellers were required to offer this type of filter they don’t inorder to have a cheaper starting price. The $300 compressor just sell you a tube with cotton wadding in it.

There is a filter just above the drain cock where you drain the compressor and vent hose. Be sure to vent the hose about every 10 or 15 minutes while you're filling your bottles
