How often do you drain your air compressor?

Dont assume a bigger compressor will be louder. My quincy is way quieter than most small compressors due to its 1025 rpm pump operating speed.
Mine has an automatic drain but I dont use it because it scares the crap out of me everytime it blasts off. My routine is to close the discharge valve and drain the tank every day when im finished working. Once you get in the habit you wont forget to do it.
I had mine inside the shop for about a year. It wasnt the noise but the heat it generated. I built a small enclosure on the outside of the garage and I can almost not even hear it running.
