It’s recommended to change it once a year. Once a while, just push the handspike to drop off water residuals.
Every 6 months you are supposed to change it (based on average air compressor “quality” system). You just unscrew it and substitute the internal part.
Silica gel is made of little yellow beads packed in a semi-permeable plastic. It is used as a desiccant for local humidity. To regenerate it you just have to turn on the SRS valve and it will be automatically be regenerated without any manual operation, by the sole inversion of heated air flows. Air flow exchange allows the air to reach suitable temperature to regenerate silica-gel. After 8 hours, the system gets automatically switched off (You can leave it on at night when you are closed). You are supposed to change the silica gel every 6 months (based on average air compressor “quality” system).
Yes. Silica gel doesn’t rundown until the third windows gets blue. Then it has to be regenerated.

You can not use different spray guns simultaneously, but you can exchange them at any time.
TD³ is helpful because you should heat compressed air even when it’s warm or humid. Compressed air is, in fact, never hot enough to balance the temperature drop at the air cap, due to air expansion. (Physical rules show that any fluid when expanded drop the temperature).
Red color indicates that Oil filter (2nd stage) has to be maintained or replaced
Red color indicates that silica dust filter (4th stage, the little one upside) has to be maintained or replaced
You should unscrew it and blow it with a compressed air blowing gun and to replace it every 4-6 months
