Drain port location

Hi 

I am planning a water cooling loop in the fractal design define s which I am hoping to do at the end of this month (31st may). I am going to use PETG tubing and will only have a CPU on it at the moment as I'm going to upgrade my graphics card to the GTX 1080. The reservoir I am looking to get only has 1 port on the bottom and 3 on the top. At first I thought this would be fine but then I realized I will need a drainage system. so my question is could I put the drain port right after the pump or will the pump block the liquid flow when powered off.

I have attached an image of a plan I drew up.

Thanks in advance.
