How often should the reservoirs be drained to minimize water collection?

Draining the reservoirs daily is essential for effective air brake system maintenance. Moisture can accumulate in the air brake system due to condensation, which can lead to several issues, including reduced braking efficiency and the potential for brake failure. Regularly draining the reservoirs helps eliminate this moisture and reduces the risk of corrosion and freezing during colder temperatures, both of which can significantly impair the system's performance.

While options like draining once a week, every other day, or once a month suggest some level of maintenance, they do not adequately address the frequency at which water can accumulate, especially in humid environments or during prolonged use of the vehicle. Daily maintenance ensures that any moisture build-up is managed effectively, therefore maintaining the integrity and reliability of the air brake system.
