That is a good routine for compressor maintenance. I don't drain it every time
I use it, but that is sure better than never doing it.
Leaving the condensation in the compressor will let the level of water rise
until it begins to mix with the compressed air and eventually the tools will
begin to corrode inside.
If you have ever looked at a body shop, the compressor there will have a series
of water separators built into the lines. Starting at the compressor and
depending on the amount of trouble they have with moisture, there may be one at
each work station. Certainly inside the spray booth.

Hi,
do I take it you don't drain the condensation out of the compressor?
I have been doing this every time I turn it off. Not sure if this is
necessary but a lot of water comes out at times.

fact, when I built my shop I ran p v c pipe thru the wall and put my compressor
in another room so it wouldn't be so noisy. I just have a switch to tern it on
and off in the shop, I never see the regulator at all.
