How to keep moisture out of solvent tank

getting moisture inside the solvent tank that settles at the bottom after multiple runs. What can be done to prevent this? And yes there is a mol sieve.

I hope this helps. :tiphat:

Making sure the weed is very dry beforehand helps.

I think the easiest thing for you is to take out the molecular sieves which are now probably saturated
with water. Once the molecular sieves are saturated with water they stop working as intended. You
can reuse them by dehydrating them by heating them up in a vacuum oven and pulling full vacuum.

I got this idea from here:

Sound like you are over running your mol sieve. You need more, or to service what you have more often.


I switched to using molded zeolite filter dryer inserts for AC application and building my own stainless case for them. We changed then out daily, but recovered then in a vacuum oven overnight.
