Matt..... We recently moved down to the Sunshine State and being a long long time air compressor owner I was concerned about having a unit inside my garage down here - especially during the Summer. My Compressor is a 30 gal. 2 HP Jenny and the only water filters I use are the coalescent type in the line. My 3 car garage IS air conditioned (2 ton Mini-split) and that runs 24/7 and set to 77ºF (except during the Winter months when there is no reason to run it often). My garage is comfortable to work in and I would imagine that because of the 11 foot ceiling height (where unit is mounted) the ground temp is a degree or two lower. I started to drain my compressor every few day - no water came out. Then I let it go a week - still no water. After a month really nothing!! I am in total amazement! I use my compressor almost on a daily basis, use air tools, air gun, fill tires and pool floats - and the water in the tank is a non issue! This amazed me greatly because when I lived in NY that was not the case and the compressor was in my basement work shop that was both heated and air conditioned. When I opened the drain valve every week (in NY) , I'd get a few ounces of water coming out and always had a slight mist of water when using the air at greater distances. How I do not have this issue here is beyond me!! The ONLY difference I can thing of is tha in NY I had 300 feet of air line run all over (including out to the yard and the garage which might have contributed to moisture. here I only have two hoses off the manifold and they are short runs in my garage - no basement here. While still puzzled, - I WILL TAKE IT! I really figured I'd need a dryer unit, but so far so good!
It looks great, but have you thought about maintenance at all? When those fittings leak, and degrade with time? You are going to have to rent special equipment, or hire specialists just to reach up there to the roof to service.
I set my compressor up with heavy wall schedule 40 copper pipe, never had water problems! Notice you have no drip legs ! This helps with dirt and moisture! Drip legs with drains is best! Copper seems to stay cool that would explain dry air with no filter! Only moisture I get is little in the tank, but have auto drain for that!🤔🫡🇺🇸
Hint : your vertical pipe should go into a tee so you could add a drip leg instead of an elbow! The way your set up dirt and water has no place to go except through your couplers , tools , hose reels and spray guns!🤔😝🇺🇸
