Is there some sort of bypass on this? I have mine at the end of about 60 feet of copper 3/4 tube, and I can still extract water on a post filter

Hey Joey, The only way to condense water out of compressed air is to cool the air down. I ran mine along the wall then down to the concrete floor for 20 feet, then straight up to a water trap, right angle to mid way along the wall and never had water in my supply after the trap. Cool the copper as much as you can, Hot air will always contain water.

No bypass just a shutoff valve.Did you make sure your filter is elevated higher then your compressor outlet?Water is going to head for the lowest point in your line and if your outlet is lower your water is going to end up there.From your compressor you want your 60 foot of pipe to go slightly uphill to the filter.You also would benefit from a pipe going down a few feet located somewhere before your filter with a drain valve.This will work as a water trap prior to your filter.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

Yea does seam to do such a good jod, I have motor gaurds on all my things that need dry air, and now Added a after cooler, that seems to do the best. By cooling the air before it gets to the tank will keep most the water out

This is a great filter! However, I wanted it to be connected to it's own dedicated water dispenser faucet. The faucet I got off amazon had a 1/4" male thread end (compression thread) and the filter has a 3/8" male end (also compression thread). To make this connection you will need two parts available on amazon.You will need two Watts brand products:Watts LFA154 Female Compression x OD Adapter 1/4-Inch x 3/8-Inch (Fine Thread)Watts LFPBCC12-44 Ice Maker Supply Line, 12-InchTook me forever to find these fittings to make it work, but I wanted to save somebody else the time and hassle.

No idea. I would try calling the manufacturer, or at least comparing the three dimensions of your existing filter.

Make sure the filter is ALL THE WAY into the cavity. It's too easy to push it around the post with it not being in far enough.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

Can you add a badket? You could possibly run it straight to filter pump. Depends on what kind of filter you have.

This is a very important issue. Yes, it's a 3/4" pipe thread at the inlet, but inside, the outlet opening is restricted down to about 9/32". So, you lose about 2/3 of your flow. I was redoing my long drip irrigation lines where I needed to maximize the flow. I returned mine and bought a bunch (14) at a big box store (blue/gray colors), which had much less restriction. In my opinion, it's more a volume issue and not so much a pressure issue, as the higher restriction increases the pressure, but lowers the volume. Now I get the flow I need. These are, however, nice little, well-made valves and I'd use them on an application where I didn't need that much volume. This is a very important issue.

I see that someone was able to use the greenway filtration system with this unit. PLEASE tell me how. When I try water leaks from the bottom

My plumber told me it is not possible to remove the low flow regulator without breaking the faucet. This is intentional due to government regulations. Bummer, I know.

It is not that big of a deal at all. If you know how to shut the water off and bleed the system of pressure, it should be fairly simple. The toughest part is holding on to the filter housing because of how heavy it will be filled with the water. Just take it a step at a time.

We just used our garden hose. We attached a water filter (about $25) because our water is high in minerals. It took about an hour or so.

I have mine next to the tank, and the hoses are just about long enough. I don't think they'd be long enough to connect the filter under the tank. You could always just buy hoses from your local hardware store, but you can't have it too low -- the pump won't lift the water very high.Good luck!GBose

Hi Joy, Well without knowing your exact setup I can only assume you have sand in the inside pipe and latterals (those are the white spoke looking things). I have read about this problem on another site and that's what the other person had going on. So how does that happen, well either the center tube got cracked during shipping or during the sand fill process, it is easy to do as the plastic tube is very fragile. I actually broke mine before I had the filter installed and had to order a new one fron Intex. It was about $7 and lol $8 for shipping. The other reason could be too much sand in the filter itself so the sand floats and then get sucked into the backwash process and sinks and then when you go to the filter process it get sucked up and out into the pool until its all gone. Finally, be sure you have the correct sand. My experience is you can only get it at pool supply stores. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help. Jonathan

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

I recommend googling for the Berkey website and it will give you a description of what is removed since getting the wrong information in this case could be deadly. I have never seen any sort of demonstration of filtering really mucky water though.

Check to see if your water level is covering the entire intake pipe. It should be. Also, If you have the skimmer attachment installed, it might be contributing to the problem. I run my filter with it out of the intake line, with better results.

I saw posted somewhere that a different manufacturer's device automatically is set to do this after a certain amount of water has flowed through it. Simply removing and then reseating the filter MIGHT fix the issue, although I can't guarantee it will be the same for this device.
