I use one of those condensing filter types and also a desiccant bead holder dryer right after. In the winter the beads stay dry and Orange for quite a few days. In the summer I’m changing the beads every day. I was reading the blue beads use cobalt chloride as the colour indicator which is a toxic substance banned in the EU. The orange beads use something else not toxic. So I’ve switched to the orange ones. To dry the beads I just put them in the toaster oven for 20 minutes at 300F. This thing. It’s expensive. https://www.kmstools.com/campbell-hausfeld-3-8-quot-desiccant-coalescing-filter.html

I should buy a refrigerator dryer.

The reason I didn't go with homebrew version was they require a lot of space and valving (for drainage) to be effective and the cost of copper these days......the Princess Auto solution is 2.6gal https://www.princessauto.com/en/12v...il-coolers/product/PA1000000760?skuId=8519746

with only a couple of valves for drainage wa the aternative. However, the the larger filter separator did the trick so that solutiin wasn't needed.
