I run my vacuum pump for long time to make sure all the moisture is boiled out. I am a belts and suspender type. I pressurize the system with dry nitrogen after pulling a vacuum and then pull a vacuum again. I want a DRY system.

+1. Once the system has been opened like this one has, pulling a vacuum will be mandatory. Not only to get the moisture out, but the air as well.
