compressor unloader valve issue

[brightspark]

finally got some guttering up around my shed and 3 IBC's rigged up for rainwater harvesting, managed to cram 25 odd meters of pipe into one of them, and a drop leg with a ball valve at the end of the coil,
after running the compressor all the way up to pressure the outlet pipe out of the pump head was 95 degrees and the inlet into the compressor tank was just 10 degrees!! id say thats a pretty great result!
Opened the ball valve after the unloader valve had stopped hissing and got a good few ml's of water out, water that hasnt made it to the tank or the rest of the system which is good!
Might look for an automatic drain instead of the ball valve, as that would empty every time the unloader valve releases the pressure
