Tell us the compressor, the dryer you already have, the length of the run and what the drop feeds, and we will tell you whether you need a water remover, a coalescing filter, a bigger dryer or simply a drain in the right place. On a no-return line that conversation is worth having first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI already have a dryer. Why would I need this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a dryer controls dew point at the dryer. Air leaving a refrigerated dryer at a 38 F pressure dew point will re-condense anywhere the line falls below that, which in a northern plant means any run through an unheated bay or against an outside wall. The water remover catches the liquid that forms after the dryer, right where the tool is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it dry the air?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It removes liquid water that is already present. It does not change dew point. If you need genuinely dry air, the answer is a correctly sized \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/collections\/air-dryers\"\u003edryer\u003c\/a\u003e, and the water remover then protects the point of use from whatever condenses downstream of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it take out compressor oil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot as a coalescing filter would. It removes bulk liquid, which on a lubricated compressor includes some oil carried with the water, but oil aerosol removal is a job for a Grade E or Grade F coalescing element. On paint and instrument air, run both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often does the element need changing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChampion publishes no fixed interval and calls it a long-life element. In practice you change it when differential pressure climbs or when the sight glass stops showing water being caught in a system you know is wet. Most shops look at it annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size do I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the flow through that drop, then check the thread. A 1 in unit passes 131 CFM; if the drop only ever sees 40 CFM, the 1\/2 in unit is the right product even if the pipe is larger, and a bushing costs less than the oversized housing. If you are not sure what the drop actually flows, send us the tool list and we will work it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it if I order the wrong one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Champion marks the entire DRI range NO CANCEL \/ NO RETURN.
