Tuxing HPA/PCP Water/Oil Filter Update: Mixed Fillers Sieve

Last year I added the Tuxing Water/Oil filter to my compressor/tank set up and was (and am) very happy with its performance in reducing (almost eliminating) any water/oil getting into my air tank from my Tuxing compressor.

As you recall, the filter that ships with the compressor is limited at best. I added a second filter of a similar size and soon found out that even two filters is not enough to run the compressor for more than 15 minutes without soaking the filters in water/oil.

So I picked up the Tuxing filter, which is just a GIANT version of my other two filters. Does the job very nicely.

So why this video? I recently came across an updated version of the Tuxing filter that offered multiple types of filter "sleeves" (or sieve). I had seen homemade versions of folks taking PVC and desiccant to make their own sieves for the Tuxing, but I held off.

After seeing the newer filter offerings, I decided on the mixed filler (vs. just a single one of the three choices). This video is the unboxing as well as the direct comparison of the two units.

I have not yet put this unit to a test yet as I'm wondering if it will fill faster than the cotton filler version due to density differences. Maybe air will pass faster/dryer through the three filter types. That will be my next test, so stay tuned.
