Aircompressor Maintenance

[redshift]

Most people will only be concerned abot draining the water daily

(DO it)

But it really depends on your own personal comfort level and where it's located, most tanks are rated very conservatively, and I certainly would not worry about it exploding or anything like that. Even tho most consumer compressors top out at about 175 psi,. 250 psi would be the minimum rating in order to sell it
as 175... but do look into a cheap filter for your line especially for painting- I made one with a Purolator fuel filter, works incredibly well and it cost like $4, just has to be one with pipe fittings on both ends, and I don't go over 50 psi when I am using it, as that could potentially pop.
