Paul,
What size air line are you running from the compressor and how long is it??
I have never had any feed problems with my blaster but maybe I have been lucky. I have found that I need at least a 3/8" ID hose and have taken out all of the quick disconnect fittings. If you look at those fittings notice how small a hole they have going thru them.
It may be possible that all your water traps are restricting the flow of air to your blaster. You may not have enough volume of air to carry the sand thru your hose.
It is snowing in north central Pa but not sticking to the ground yet.
Ken
