I have a desiccant system and an inline water and oil Separator at the gun. Maybe I need to upgrade my drier to a higher quality one.

if you are getting water and you do have a desiccant dryer it could be from a number of reasons.
like Bill stated you can dry most beads a few times before they will still need to be replaced.
if your compressor is on the smaller side and has to work hard to keep up with a high demand of air uses then at times you would need to go with a bigger dryer.
things to do even when your using a dryer is to make sure it's mounted as far away from the air supply as it can be.
make sure its mounted higher than the air compressor so moisture will be able to drain back to the compressor .
still putting a few loops up and down from the floor to celling before the dryer is a good idea like stated before in the posting replies. with bleeders at the bottom of the loops. this will let you drain any moisture from the air supply line.
another help is to crack open the drain valve just to let a very small amount of air and moisture to bleed out before it gets to your dryer.
