Mr. Squirrel, are you still filling the tank via the outside port?  I just open up the tank top, and fill from there, with my eye on the hole.  Never overflow, that way.

Would not be good, as it would be a pathway for nasty stuff from the sink, or at least microbes from the nasty stuff, to get to the water tank.  I need to check this out to make sure there is no such connection.  Shades of sewer/potable water cross connections in a house or municipal piping system!
