If you really want dry air the best and cheapest way to do it is to install a heat exchanger between the tank and the water drier in the compressed air line. I used an old car air-conditioning condenser with about 3/8" lines in and out of it, you'll be surprised how much better the drier works using cool air rather than warm air!!!!!!!!!
