Mark,

Having spent almost 6 hours on Sat bleeding mine using a vacuum approach and old school manual bleeding (my daughter earned 10 bucks for sitting in the drivers seat laying on her ipad and pumping the brake pedal) your idea presents an interesting idea.

I like the simplicity of the idea, but you mention an empty system. For most of us, that's rarely the case. We might be changing an existing part in an existing system. But this could still work. Firstly, take an existing system with fluid in the lines. Connect your system, open all the bleeders (connect some plastic hose and "pots" to each one). Power it up, open the valve and flush all fluid from all lines, emptying the system.

Then repeat the process as you've described in your video to refill and bleed the system.

Thoughts ?
