Water in hydraulics

My hydro. fluid in my Super A was real milky so I changed it and the new fluid turned milkey too. I knew I had some water in my system but I thought draining fluid an leaving plug out all night it would drain out. How do I get all moisture out of system?
 
The problem is just draining only gets MOST of the fluid. There are two hydraulic cylinders, the lines, and the pump that are still full of milky oil.

It's got to be a LOT less milky than before. If it still bothers you change it again.

You would have to completely disassemble the entire hydraulic system and drain it all out to get rid of it completely. That causes problems with seals and gaskets, plus you have to deal with getting the system re-primed and purging all the air.

Realistically, all you can do is dilute it to a reasonable level.
 
drain it and fill it with diesel fuel and take it for a good run, then pull your plugs and let drain for a day or 2, then refill it....
 
Do NOT put Diesel fuel in a Touch-Control system.

Drain the system, then start the engine briefly to kick out some of the oil in the pump and lines. Refill with a good hydraulic oil and run it a bit. If it is still milky, do it again. This process will probably go better using genuine Hy-Tran as it will absorb more moisture than most of the generics.
