Default Air compressor moisture problem

I started a new endeavor to replace the axle seals on my 1200 we all know how that simple little task can turn into a full blown refurb.Well I purchased a sand blaster and as I was using it I found that my current moisture filter is nowhere near adaquate to keep out water.Did some research and have found that the only way to eliminate 100% of the water is a $1400.00 refrigerated filter.Whoa,so me and a mechanic where I work was discussing the issue and he said if I added 2 or 3 holding tanks inline that would give the air time to cool and let the water seperate from the air.Makes sense but I've never heard of this.What are some of the ways you guys go about keeping moisture out of your air lines.I want to also use it for painting so water is a no can do.I have a three cylinder single stage air compressor with a 5hp electric motor and 60 gal tank.Any advise???????
