Joseph,
Can you tell us whether the dryer is of the dessicant type? If so,
with the sort of humidity you experience in Florida, I would suggest
that you require a refrigerant dryer as a first stage. Even in the UK
during the summer, we have had problems with dessicant dryers becoming
overloaded and they then cease to function correctly.

Tony Pemberton
