I currently do not have an overflow system but when I did I drilled a small hole in the apex of the U-tube. I siliconed an airline check valve in the hole and on the rare occasion that suction was lost I simply slipped on an airline and sucked out the bubble. Never once had an isse with it.

Go t taget and get the maranaid injector, put a peice of tube on the end fill it full of water , work the tube up inside then inject the water to push all the bubble to one spot then suck the air out with the injector
