I solved my compressor issue by using 2 air compressors (110V). | I solved my compressor issue by using 2 air compressors (110V). | ||
The first one was 3hp, 10 gallon tank that put out 7.2 CFM @ 40 PSI and the second one was 2hp, 10 gallon tank that put out about 4 CFM @ 40 PSI. | The first one was 3hp, 10 gallon tank that put out 7.2 CFM @ 40 PSI and the second one was 2hp, 10 gallon tank that put out about 4 CFM @ 40 PSI. | ||

| − | + | I ran a 20 foot hose from each air compressor (this let the air temp cool down and water condense out) and into a Y connector at my high volume water trap http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=98904. | |
| − | + | The output of the water trap has a air regulator and 50 foot of hose that goes into the paint booth. | |
