filter help

[strada]

Hi guys, i bought my first compressor today.I got a airmaster 14/100 from MM.
It will be used to run a plasma,small spay jobs etc..
After i set it up and used the blow gun i noticed it was blowing out alot of moisture.So can you tell me what sort of filter i need ?
I did get a 30m hose though for ease of use, inflating car tyres/spaying fence panels etc..rather than dragging the compressor about.
would it be better to have a shorter hose for the plasma ?
Sorry for the stupid questions,but i know nothing about compressors.
thanks guys

30 meters is a long run depending on the bore size. your better off making a shorter one up and dont use it coiled up. i use a filter regulator on the tank and sometimes a water seperator one near the end of the line using short whip tails to the spray gun or air tools

Would this do ?

or any of the clarke filters ? im not going to be spraying cars ,just want to make sure my plasma will run ok without moisture being a problem.
Whats a water seperator ?

the picture of the filter at machine mart is the water seperator if u look below theres a filter regulator that removes water and can regulate the output pressure as well

I know which one you mean.
Does this attach to the compressor instead of the regulator allready fitted ?
Thanks for your help told you i didnt know anything about compressors.

if your compressor is allready fitted with a pressure regulator u would just need the airline filter in the line for removing moisture. heres my setup filter regulator.

yes its fitted with a pressure regulator,and its the 100ltr raider model and not the airmaster as i said earlier
So i just need a filter i would have asked at MM today but they seemed to have less knowledge than me.
