LE LEMATEC Air Compressor Dryer, Desiccant Filter Air Dryer for Pneumatic Tools and HVLP Paint Spray Gun, Traps Oil, Water, Dirt, Moisture for Clean and Dry Compressed Air, 150 PSI (ZN312E-3 3/8")

Don't know why you would complain about this dryer. For the price and the ability to replace the Desiccant beads this filter does what you need it to do! I have a new expensive plasma cutter, I put two of these in the line from the compressor, one at the particle separator, the other on the back of the cutter. Works 100% as it should.

These are very nice and sturdy and do not leak, very good for keeping the air dry and you can easily see the desiccant silica gel to know when to regenerate the beads.

The desiccant beads it comes with changed color even before I used the air compressor. Not sure if they’re really doing a good job or if they are just too wimpy. I’ve seen similar reviews. So are they filtering moisture or are they just an indicator?

I gave this product 5 star because it does do what it says, however as I'm sure many of you as myself try to save a buck and try to use things hoping for results other than intended, that being said the picture on the package shows the use of it before a paint gun, but the add also shows it on the air compressor outlet as well, let me tell you if you use it for a paint gun I'm sure it should be fine but also if you have no other filter/dryer in place this will not last through one cycle of the air compressor, I live in FLA used this on a cold day [60] yeah that's cold here, anyway compressor was completely drained, closed the valve and used a air tool for maybe 10 minutes total and beads were completely pink, I bought two of these so swapped it out for the other one, used my air blower to blow off the debris I had caused from the air tool and the 2nd one was pink before I got things blown off, was hoping for more is all, ya gonna have to spend a couple hundred to get a good system, just can't get around that

Ran this through my aquarium air compressor used for my Atomstack A70 Max laser which I didn't think would cause it to turn translucent after one use but unfortunately, it became so. I returned it. I'll just build a better dedicated moisture trap system at this point.The build quality seems fine but wish the canister was much bigger to be able to change the desiccant less frequently.

I have bought 5 of these filter (now 6 with this last order) and i can tell you that they deff work. My area is very humid all the time so getting the water out of my air line before painting is not easy...i usually have one of these on my tank and one inline before the spray gun.....i change the beads damn near every time i spray now.....but eventually after about 3 months the housing will crack or start minor leaking then eventually its no good.....i will say keep any chemical like acetone away from them because it weakens the clear plastic and causes it to snap (don't ask me how i know) but if you need a quick fix these will work for a little while

No information on Refill of desiccant. I wish I could buy replacement for the unit.

I used this air compressor filter dryer before my spray paint gun and my sand blaster. I especially like that most of the filter is metal rather than plastic like some other like kind filters are. This filter will last a long long time as it is very well built.
