Tuxing oil/water seperator - best filling?

[oOmpH]

Hi all,

I know many of you use this Tuxing oil/water seperator:

Understood the filling should be replaced with better silica gel pearls. Can somebody advice on the best diameter for such pearls? Atm, i am looking at the one’s with a 2 to 5mm diameter. Should that be ok?

Thanks in advance!

3A Molecular Sieve is what I use (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QGM9X7G?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k0_1_18&amp&crid=24AE226W75R0Y&amp&sprefix=3a+molecular+sieve).

Or color changing (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QFJQQ7...colid=Z88MEFP49P53&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it)

ether one will do a good job.

I also made a DIY filter for my compressor's "Air Intake" which will help avoid corrosion inside compressor's air cylinder.

Why Not Pre Dry High Pressure Air When Filling Your PCP?

Most moisture-removal systems used with HPA compressors work on the compressed air side. An alternative is to pre dry High Pressure Air.

Had a lot of moisture in my gun after only a few compressor fills. Uk can be very damp. Got a Tuxing filter but am also trying a pre-drier. 1 Gallon if silica beads on the inlet. Yes it does have a filter before it gets to compressor. Cost almost nothing and will probably help a bit.

I know I have no moisture issue thanks to using a pre-drier and inline filter.

Does anyone know the thread size for the Tuxair filter end caps?

Need to attach a check valve and purge valve on the source side to facilitate depressurizing the filter.

Thanks!

It is metric, M10x1.0.

I just added one to my 032.

I was under the impression that these filters work much more efficiently if they are upright and not laying down.
