Lets Talk Compressed Air Dryer!

Good morning everyone! I have a 80 Gallon, 7.5 HP Two Stage Husky compressor and I’ve been digging into air dryers and gathering as much knowledge as I can on these units, Anyone have any first hand experience on these? thoughts on prices and the brands?

thanks for your help!




I have the Harbor Freight dryer. It seems to work as expected. I do not work it hard so I am not sure how it would hold up for busy shop.

Thanks Jim! I’m just a casual night and weekend warrior too at this point, any luck with your ISP situation yet?

I went with the Schulz ADS-35 works awesome.

I have the HF one. Been working fine for at least a year. I try to turn it on 30 minutes before I do any cutting. Seems to help increase condensate output volume.

YES!!! I called TMobile back and said I was still only having a download speed of about 1 mb/second. This individual did further “modifications of my account”…whatever that meant…which makes me think they funnel band width to the squeaky wheels.

It didn’t change with my computer but then he had me check the speed with my cell phone using wifi. Low and behold I was getting 40 MB/second on the cell phone. I then fired up my old computer and it was getting around 40 MB/second. New computer: 1.5/MB/second. I then went to a backup hard-drive that I had created while setting up the new computer: 37 MB/second.

So the issue was with something that got set up in my new computer. It was not entirely T-Mobile’s fault. I will say, I had checked the download speed with my cellphone previous to my initial calls to TMobile and it was in the single digits for MB/second: So they do something in their accounts to throttle your access.

I also saw that one of the primary towers in town had a work crew up in it so whether it was related to my problem or not, I am having better success. At this very moment in time, here is the speed test results. Based on my history, these numbers are quite satisfactory. For decades I had CenturyLink DSL and their published speed for our line was 3 MB/second download, 0.75 MB/second upload.
