Does the water level in your sump change? 
 
I'm only running my system with freshwater right now but I don't have an ATO yet and I notice the level in my sump compartment feeding the Dart does effect it's output capacity just a little. I top up in the sump itself and find that the emergency overflow will usually start getting a little water. I also feed a manifold.
