Russ and Tom, I think I found a solution. Where the two parts of the solenoid screw together, I replaced the thin "O" ring with one that is fatter. Seems to be working.

It seems to me that the solenoid works in two directions. When the solenoid is actuated, the exhaust is sealed, but when it is not actuated, the rubber on the other end will exhaust the water only when there is enough air pressure left in the compressor line to move the spring loaded mechanical rubber seal. Perhaps your solution, as well as mine, will work as long as the check valve completely seals the tank from the compressor.

Mine will do teh same , after comporessor cycle for about 3-4 minutes it will make spit sounding noise and air blow out! I still check the small valve and get some water out by hand every 2 months or so1 since we are fulltiming , I can keep eye on it! I get about half of glass of latte color like water!!
