Collecting Water

Post by Retro »

Hey there,
since i have my Hypertherm 85 my air dryer collects way more water then before with my Kjellberg since it needs way more air. How do you guys collect the water. Mine shoots in the air since i have no idea how to collect it. When i hang it into a bucket with nothing else, it just wips through the air.
What are your solutions? Which hose diameter do you use into the water collecting part?

Use a zip tie to wrap a balled up rag around the end of the hose. The water will hit the rag and weigh it down, and then the water will dribble out of the rag into a bucket.
