Your sump will not overflow as long as you leave enough free space in it to accept all flow back during power outages, if you are not pumping the water in the tank will no longer rise and the overflow will break siphon. if you are drilled once water is leveled out it will break siphon also. the only problem is that with an over flow once power is back on you will need to be able to restart the siphon and remove the air. shouldnt be a problem though. what kind of overflow from tank to sump do you have.
