   You can go to grainger or other industrial supply companies & buy a moisture trap/filter & it should be installed 12-20ft from the tank down low then run the air line that comes out of the tank 6-8ft higher that the water trap(this helps due to water is heivier than air ) then back down to  your regulator.

   Get a water separator from any industrial supply house; don't try to build one.  Put a lever type valve on the bottom of your compressor and drain it after each use or every day.

   If you don't want to drain the tank you can buy automatic drains that work either on a float or on a timer.

   You'll need a moisture separator in the air line as the others have said.  If you have a regulator in the system, the moisture separator should be on the high pressure side.

   In addition to the normal moisture traps, I use a refrigerated water remover. It is a unit with a refrigerator type unit in it that cools the air and condenses out the moisture. Works great. (glad I didn't have to buy it however, they are kind of pricey..)
