Induction has a air filter same as your car engine....foam/mesh/some such combo.....built in, mostly....
output goes to a water separator, two stage....mine is just a cheepie from Harbor Freight.... two bottles hang down, gather water in them, filter elements above....takes the water out of the compressed air...mainly for painting....
typically a manual drain valve like on your radiator, on air tank bottom of the compressor, must drain once a week...
I never bothered to plumb the shop walls like guys do....I just have ~50' of air hose, KISS principal....
:lol: Pressure regulator is hooked into the air tank, turns on/off.....typical meter on it....

I think "pressure regulator" he is talking about is for line pressure. Think your talking about is the compressor kick in switch for when tank pressure is low.
I have my water seperator/filter before the pressure regulator. I would think if you mounted the seperator/filter after the pressure regulator line pressure might be affected a bit.
