Well, you could unplug it when you aren't in the shop, or you could pull 
the circuit for the auto drain off one leg of the compressor circuit on the 
bottom of the disconnect, and then open the disconnect whenever you're not 
in the shop, which would keep it from going off, too.  Or you could use a 
seven day timer, and have it set to energize the auto drain only during the 
day on weekends.
