So im guessing lots of water in my air compressor is normal? My air coming from the compressor is watery with high water vapor. This is the yong heng compressor btw.
Is this bad for the tank and my airguns?

Water in Air from air compressor

In a word Yes, you want dry air for the gun and tank.
I am not familiar with your compressor but there are separate air filters that can be added to your system to prevent water from entering the gun and tank.
Do not fill your tank or guns with air that you suspect contains water.
Maybe someone with your compressor will post and suggest the air filter/s that he has placed between the compressor and the gun/tank.

Yeah i think i should probably invest in a normal priced compressor. Unless there is some easy filters to add.

FukoChan, I would suggest looking into one of the aftermarket HIGH PRESSURE water separators/filter canisters. Filtering out the low pressure side of the compressor really does not do you any good. It is the physics of air compression that gets us on this. Think of the air as a sponge. The sponge (air) can have lots of moisture in it that you just can't get out until you apply pressure to it. (squeezing the sponge). Hence why we need to dry and collect the moisture on the output of the compressor rather than the low side. Message me and I can share a little more about some of the separators that are available. Good luck.

Broseph, you need to research more thoroughly. Just scroll down to the bottom of this sub-forum and read the thread titled, "High Side Chinese Filter Dryer Hack".

Good old generic "no answer" internet bandwidth waster.
So the question returns "is this bad"? And why? Really what is that bad about it? Photos? YouTube? Formulas? Bad luck? Bad carma? Water boiling point? Tell us please...

You're disappointed or angry because the answer, which was clearly helpful and informative (and which you unfairly edited) did not expand into a full dissertation on the topic? If you want a dissertation, how about YOU do the research and write one. That should keep you too busy enough for a while that you won't have time to blast away at well meaning and helpful fellow enthusiasts who none the less do do rise to your standards.

One other hint that may or may not apply to someone here is that if you live in a humid area, consider running your compressor indoors if possible. Conditioned air is much dryer, and while it won't eliminate the need for a dryer it should help.
