Water Buildup in Pneumatic System?

Hello all, I've been building a test electronics board to prepare and practice for the new season. This is 4087's second year and the first pneumatic assembly we've ever done. I've got everything working well so far and just wanted to ask if someone could put some rest to a concern of mine.

Every time I vent the pressure built up in the tanks by the compressor, I feel a lot of water vapor coming out. The amount of water I feel has definitely increased since the first few times I ran the system. Should I be concerned with this water? Is it harming the solenoid, regulators, tanks, cylinder, etc? If so, how can I get rid of the water that's building up without having to take the entire thing apart every few times it's used?

Thanks in advance for the help!

(And sorry if I missed any previous posts asking this same question, I didn't see any when I searched.)
