how many feet is your pump going to be pushing vertical? how many 90s? how many 40's? how many horizontal feet?

shut your return pump and fill your sump by adding more water to your DT, when you reach the max fullness in your sump your safe with start your pump. and let it level out in your sump, if it drains your sump you can install a ball valve on the discharge side of the pump, or get a smaller pump. if you can increase your overflow drain amount do that and start over like I said before.
