[QUOTE="dancer, post: 2069320, member: 110569"] After filling the reservoir, trying to get rid of bubbles of any size, I hold it upright and hit the bottom several times on a hard flat surface. I then leave the reservoir sitting there for 5 minutes so that any remaining bubbles rise to the top. Keeping the reservoir upright, I attach the tubing and press the plunger up. Even if no bubbles appear in the tubing at that point, I use something hard (like a pen) to tap the reservoir to force any remaining bubbles up to the top. I continue doing this till no more tiny bubbles enter the tubing. That's the point where I place reservoir in pump. [/QUOTE]
