my overflow is 12"x6"x23 and running 1350 gph through it already will this cause any probs or can i get it to work

Thanks

You could be asking for trouble. during a power out, depending on the level the tank falls to. when power returns the C/L pump will kick in and potentially drain the over flow box before the sump pump delivers enough water to the tank to bring the over flow back up to its normal level.
