How often is it recommended that the air tanks be drained?

  1. Every week

  2. Every day

  3. Every hour

  4. Every month

The correct answer is: Every day

It is important to regularly drain the air tanks of a compressed air system to eliminate water and contaminants that can damage or corrode the system. While it may seem excessive to drain the air tanks every day, it is necessary to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential damage. Draining the tanks every week may not be frequent enough to remove excess moisture and particles. Every hour is far too often and may not be practical for most systems. Draining the tanks every month is also not recommended as excessive amounts of moisture can accumulate in that time, leading to potential damage and decreased efficiency. Therefore, it is recommended to drain the air tanks every day to ensure the safe and effective operation of the compressed air system.
