Hi guys,
I am assembling system similar to the shown on the picture

I went with non automatic sump pump and separate solid state leverguard switch.
The question is where should I drill the weeping hole to avoid an airlock in the primary pump? Typically it is recomended between pump discharge port and check-valve. I don't really have a room there for the hole, unless I will try to drill the valve below the flapper. Any ideas?

Yes I am using Liberty 250
Liberty Pumps 250 - 250 - 1/3 HP Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump (Non-Automatic)
The check valve is not pre installed. I am basically building the system from scratch trying to copy their existing product.
The existing product comes with 257 pump, but I didn't want mechanical switch and wanted to get some plumbing expirience
