Air Compressor Drain Filter

[jim1504]

Hey Guys
I diverted the moisture drain on my compressor to outside my garage. Now the problem I have is the staining of the exterior of the house and patio (rust colored) when releasing the drain pressure. Has anyone used some type of filter to stop the rusty water stains? I've diverted it as far away from the house as possible so extending the pipe isnt an option. Thanks

Dig a little hole.
Put the end of the pipe in the hole.
Fill the hole with gravel.
It will both quiet the noise when you drain it and the gravel will absorb the rust stain.

That sounds like a great idea, thanks!
