sounds like the overflow isnt syphoning or is plugged. unless you have a pump pumping more gph than the overflow is rated for i doubt that. check the syphon tube and then the whole drain tube for blockages. that is the only way this could be caused that i know of

do you have the overflow going stright to the TF??
if so there is your problem.
I have a TF 1000 and I had that problem it restrict the drain.
i would either "T" it of with a ballvalve so the you have some Water going straight into the sump and some going throught the TF Or drian right to the sump and get a PH to pump water from the sump through the TF. hope this Helps.
btw I have my tf setup the second way and love it work perfect!!!
