Well, some were not so concerned about it in the past...

Everyone freaking out about water...
- Thread starter 1900colt
- Start date
I'm not freaking out but will spend a reasonable amount of effort to minimize the amount of water in my guns and tank.

Gravity is your friend against water. I always have the tank above my water filter. This helps keep water out of your tank.

I run a foam type filter before my molecular sieve filter. I recently switched from a Yong Heng to a GX CS4.
With the Yong Heng the foam filter would be dirty and wet.
With the CS4 the filter is dry and clean.
I can also operate the CS4 without ear pro haha.
And like mentioned above, alway keep the tank you’re filling as high as you can above the compressor and filter.
I’m not a power user, so the CS4 has been great.

People freak out about things they don't understand. Some things are designed to use/tolerate water, and some things are not - know the difference. Most tanks have aluminum liners, and aluminum is common in airgun valves. There was no aluminum in the Girardoni . . .
Keeping water out of tanks and guns is easy - it involves in keeping liquid water out, and also keeping out any water vapor that will later condense out into liquid water when the air charge from the compressor (which is heated due to compression) later cools down.
Gravity can help with liquid water that has already condensed out into water, but it does nothing for the water vapor still in the heated air stream. Use an appropriate desiccant drier in the line, and then there will be no issues.
There is no need for panic or freaking out, but there is a need for appropriate action.
