get one of the big whole house water filters - like this one-

then find a raquet ball or something else that will "seat" inside the head of the unit- a couple of reccomondations- make sure it is mounted level so that as the bowl fills up, the ball stays near the middle- and you might need to bevel the inside of the head where the ball seats so that it makes a good seal...

Try to find an old dairy moisture trap, or build one out of some 6 or 8" pvs pipe.
