I run my air pressure wide open. What is needed is lots of volumn to get
all the residual moisture out and away from any fittings.
I leave only one outlet open at a time. Apply air, as that outlet quits
blowing moisture, shut it and open another immediately. I do this until
there isn't a trace of moisture from any outlet. That served me very well
for several years.
Now I just blow a little and then add pink through the pump to all outlets,
add in floor drain, done. Easy, peasy.
