Design problem? Or too much water in the system?

A GOOD design would mean that the display can hold all the water in
the return section of your sump without overflowing. Likewise, the
sump is large enough to hold the water above the overflow. Add a
water level switch to your return pump and no matter what happens
(power fail, return pump fail, overflow fail) you have no water on
the floor.

Tell me about that skimmer? Why does it divert water to the floor
when it come back on, and not into the system?
