Not sure what your 'how' is referencing, but, here goes ...
You can't hear it from work
Remember, I'm setting up a Herbie, so don't pick on me.
I'm just stating what I've learned about the Bean.
It's self-adjusting and virtually flood-proof. The Herbie is very close to this, but is NOT flood-proof.

Oh, and for the purging ...
A Herbie takes time to get the emerg going as it has air in it, from the venturi caused by it being high/tall whatever.
The secondary on the Bean is capable of blocking it's air intake when the overflow level rises.
