the sump will not overflow if you dont over fill the top tank....
its only the water that passes through the overflow/or drilled hole/weire that fills the sump.
sump pump will pump only water back to top tank and be replaced with different water compleating the cycle

Nige, remember that in the case of a power failure, the pump will stop returning the water but the syphon will keep going til the vacuum is broken
