    Default Setting up my air compressor for the Power Plasma 50....?

    Just wondering how good the water trap/filter is that comes with the PP50....

    Can I use Only that one or do I need to buy a second to go inline with it?

    You will definitely need a desiccant air dryer filter you can get a cheap one at harbor freight for about $12. That is what I use on my PP205 multiprocess.

    This is a very good one and comes with three filters http://www.tooltopia.com/motorguard-m45.aspx

    How long do these filters last?
    Also, can't tell from the pic but is this just plumbed inline?

    I've had mine for a year and still on the first filter. My system stays fairly dry before the filter and I only use the filter for plasma and paint. It's plumbed inline and can be setup with quick couplings if youd like.

    I just bought one of those HF air filter - regulator for my AmVent 50 plasma (the old one leaked to the point my compressor ran constantly to the point it would shut down) I think I'll also run my larger filter at the outlet on the compressor as well so I will be going through two filters ... that should keep things dry.
