spill over or carry over?

Dear ALL,

we have a vessel which contains sand, this vesel uses for filtration water. sometime it will back wask (back flow to clean sand/vessel). when back wash, there is some of sand is comming out from bottom to top and go to outside. how can i say this case: “sand carry over with water flow” or “sand spill over with water flow”?
or others sentence.

please advice me.

thanks.

When the vessel’s backwash stage is automatically actioned, some of the filtration sand is entrained within the water and escapes through the overflow line.
