Review: Works and doesn’t need replacing - Works great! Yeah ,”turns blue to pink too fast” ? What makes it turn pink? Water ! It works as it should . You have too much moisture in your lines if it turns too quick for you.., it’s not broke ,your filtration system is
Review: Temporary Air FIlter - I have bought 5 of these filter (now 6 with this last order) and i can tell you that they deff work. My area is very humid all the time so getting the water out of my air line before painting is not easy...i usually have one of these on my tank and one inline before the spray gun.....i change the beads damn near every time i spray now.....but eventually after about 3 months the housing will crack or start minor leaking then eventually its no good.....i will say keep any chemical like acetone away from them because it weakens the clear plastic and causes it to snap (don't ask me how i know) but if you need a quick fix these will work for a little while
