I live right outside of New Orleans. I have read that oil-free compressors are not good for humidity. Where I live, the humidity is close to 90-100% most of the year. Will this be a bad environment for this compressor?
Kirk
from Louisiana

Answer
I spoke with the manufacturer on this and they confirmed that the humidity will not cause a negative effect on the compressor.
