If you have humidity in the air and you are lubricating the pressure end of a compressor, auto drains interstage are a good idea. The water being found in the oil supply can be minimized by purging the supply tank. Additionally, locating the oil outlet a few inches above the bottom of the oil supply tank will allow the water to settle in the bottom of the tank and can drained periodically.
