I bought the ATD 5 stage 1 gallon desiccant air filter system from Amazon. It has been totally awesome. I ONLY use it for my plasma cutter and have ZERO issues EVER. I use the orange "Dry and Dry" brand dessicant. It came with blue and when the blue became saturated from HOURS of die grinder use, i replaced with the orange. It can be microwaved on defrost in small quantities to "reactivate". It is good for a couple reuses Ive found.

This was the simplest and most affordable option I could find with the largest desiccant capacity I could find. Hope this helps!
Where in Eastern KY are you? I’m in Ashland
