Thinking about purchasing this oil water separator....is it a good option? is there a better value i should consider?

Hello, just trying to secure the majority of what i will need as I should soon be receiving my first air rifle. I'm not trying to disparage any company in this effort.

I will be receiving in addition to the 30 caliber gauntlet 2 rifle some projectiles and an air compressor and a dear friend made me a safe stop target holder.

I am considering this oil water separator (posted below). It has generally favorable reviews on Amazon...but honestly I know so little about this topic and I would imagine that sometimes the reviews might be biased. That said, the company Gx is known to me from their compressors and several posts on this forum.

The product is called Professional-Grade High Pressure PCP Air Compressor Filter with Pressure Maintaining Function- 5800PSI Oil/Water Separator, Magnetic or Screw Mounting,Dry Air Intake Filter for Paintball
Here's the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DX73QM4P/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A27SLSMOK7EK4X&psc=1

Not sure if it's a good value, it's a lot of money but i want to be safe an do the right thing..... or should i be considering something else? Specific product recommendations would sure be helpful.

Also, can one replace the components for the filters such as the beads etc. or are the internals propietary? It wasn't evident to me from the listing.

thank you for your help.

I like the dual type
1st stage gets most of the water and oil
2nd stage dries the air completely

They are great filters. Extremely well built. Very heavy duty construction. Yes, you can replace the filter contents. You actually get a second replacement with the filter. When you get your hands on one you’ll see what I mean about how well built and heavy duty this thing is. I run one on my GX E L3 compressor. I know they sell out really quick , so if you can get one, grab it.
