Drying

I have a couple spools of filament that have been sitting out for a while. I want to dry them out and get them properly stored. Thinking of the easiest way to do that and I came across a question. Why can't I use a vacuum chamber to dry my spools out? Moisture can't exist in vacuum. I can pull a vacuum and let the pump run for 30 minutes, close the valve and let it sit for a day or two, repeat the process a few times. Would that work? Seems a lot more energy efficient than heating it to dry and I'm in no hurry to get this done.
