I am not sure I know what you mean by overflow pump. What is an overflow pump? I don't have a pump on my overflow. It uses a Venturi to start the siphon.

As I have a spare ATO kit, I want turn it for helping me to water change.
Once I stop the return pump in my sump tank, the water level raise. Then tigger the water level sensor and ATO pump can help me drain out the overflow water to pipe, thank

Not sure I understand the question. Is the plan to use ATO kit to drain if sump level is high? If so, you can use the same equipment but just configure the output differently. Rather than use ATO output, configure it as a Generic output selecting the sensor and active when wet. Just be careful doing so because repeatedly overfilling will affect salinity if saltwater. Instead need to understand and diagnose why it is overfilling in the first place.
