I am considering an air compressor system for my high volume auto repair shop. Do I need to include an air dryer or can I add it later?
Air dryers are not required but are highly recommended to keep your Mattei air compressor running at peak performance with the least investment in maintenance. If you use your air compressor system for auto body paint you could experience paint spotting. Hidden costs of water in the system includes rusted parts that can cause sluggish air compressor performance serving your pneumatic tools, tools that do not last as long as they could in a dried air environment and air lines not working at maximum air output.
