Can you recommend a good filter to accompany this compressor? I'd just like to remove water/oil to extend the life of my air tools.

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?
