Thanks for the suggestions and links

Basically you need to reduce the flow rate into the cistern to a level
that the overflow can manage.


Makes sense. I was looking at the problem from the angle of "how do I
get the overflow to cope with the flow rate", but it's probably easier
to solve "how do I reduce the flow rate so that the overflow can cope
with it".



You might want to also check that the overflow is not partially
blocked.

I would hook up a garden hose and insert nozzle into exit from cistern
and give it a good blast through.
