Air ride guys. how often you drain?

Hi guys, ok so here i am a couple months into my UAS air ride suspension and I already had to replace my air tank. One thing that is not often mentioned in these posts is the AMOUNT of water that is collected in these tanks. By the way water traps dont trap the water, you need quite a bit of air hose for the heated air to collect water to then be caught by the water trap... So i just replaced my tank apparently enough water had collected in there that the water rusted out one of the port welds... when i took the tank out there was a great deal of water in there. so i replaced it with a temp tank for now until i order a new tank with a port on the bottom to install a drain...

So all you guys with air rides how often you drain your tanks? i also was thinking with this new tank i am buying that has a port on the bottom to install a valve and wire it to a button inside for when i want i can click the valve open and drain the water....

stainless or not drain it once a month to keep everything from failing bags dont like rusty water just as your lines and fittings do not either...its also very important for your valves which will stik open and leave you stranded
