Yuck, never a good sound. *thankfully* I haven't yet had water pouring from my tank onto the floor, but I know where you're coming from on the "tuned hearing" standpoint. It seems every other day I hear something new in the house that my brain attributes to some several hundred gallons of impending doom. Usually turns out to be a kid flushing a toilet, or a cat drinking water, or who knows what -- my wife thinks I'm crazy
 (in the moment my heart is suffering years of panic & distress)Good reminder to check my overflows though, thanks! Also to everyone -- when was the last time you did a power failure test??

Yes that was almost another issue, because the water got backed up fresh RO water dumped in and almost flooded the sump when I turned off the pump. Was about 1/2 an inch from the top

Probably a good idea to put an float switch on the top of your tank with alarm / email and shutoff the return pump with controller, if your setup is prone to overflowing like that.

Do you not have an emergency overflow pipe in case your main one develops a blockage,
Eg. Herbie system?

*at least herbie* in my opinion... One of my tanks I built in a beananimal (herbie plus another always-dry emergency)
