Jupiter pneumatics anyone?

Anyone ever heard of them?
I bought a set of (3) inline air filters daisy chained together from MP that are this brand. All I can find when I look them up is a link to a company called MSC. Which is like a Grainger or McMaster Carr type place
No parts breakdown nothing.
2 of the 3 filter sections leak air badly around the sight glass that shows how much water is in the canister. I haven't taken it apart yet, I'm hoping maybe just a couple of o rings or something to fix?
I went to paint my truck frame with a paint gun and put this setup in line because I had 150' of air hose between the compressor and the paint gun... I took the first one off and tried it as a 1 unit filter with the regulator, and discovered the other one leaks the same as the one I removed... I ended up not using the filter setup .. 2 of the 3 units in this contraption are filters and the 3rd is a regulator.
I have plenty of auto oilers in the attic collecting dust, I made sure none of the 3 were another one of those. . For my uses I don't use the oilers... Don't like my hoses getting a coating of oil within them. For cases like this where I have to paint or sand blast

You would think new ones to be in good working order. So much of the tools/items we get anymore, are made in China, & are 99% of the time, JUNK. I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they came from. I know it's not cheap but, having an air hose strictly for painting is a good idea, along with having air tool oil to keep your air tools lubed. Just my 2 cents.
Hope you're making out with your trucks.
