Water In Fresh Air Line

[pumarjr]

I installed an Air line from my Nac Skimmer to the outside, the only issue i've had is the daily "Blowing" out of the line to clear the condensation built up. Has anyone else ran a line from their Skimmer to the outside? If so, any issues with condensation build up? and any ideas for a self drying method. Just looking for something no so complex with excellent results.

My idea was to install a piece if 4" pvc pipe with end caps, drill the "in" and "out" for the outside air line, install a small UV light or a 3w LED inside the pipe to kinda dry the outside air.

Anyone? has no one else had this issue?

Never run a line from outside, but my best guess would be to maybe have it run through a filter with some sort of desiccant in it. Maybe put some of those silica gel packets in a piece of 1/2" PVC on the inlet. They will suck the moisture out of the air coming in and are housed in a porous material designed for air to flow through.
