Custom Ballast System overfill question

I just recently installed a custom ballast system in my Nautique and wanted to know if there is anything that I can do to make sure I don't overfill my fat sacs. My pump is a reversible pump, so I flip it up to fill and down to drain. I'm worried that me or one of my buddies will flip the switch to fill and forget about it and burst one of the bags. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

'T' into the bilge line...Remember to use Check (one-way) valves.

You also need to vent the ballest, that should be your overflow also, If you don't vent it you'll blow your sacs
