I just said the same thing as Bill, the pulse air is not responsible for the
water in the air cleaner. I guess I just learned something new.
Be very careful working with that air tube manifold, it breaks very easily
and costs lots o money. I was not able to find one for under $120, and it
was used. The only new one that I found was about $175.
I eventually removed the air tubes entirely, 4 of 6 were broken, and plugged
the holes with brass plugs from Homey D's.

Yes, the two valves are the same.
The nut is welded to the tube. A [large] pipe wrench on the outside of the
valve will unscrew it, but the tube may well break if it's cruddy. Mine
both rusted through, and when I found out how much it was going to cost to
replace them (yikes!) I removed them instead.
