You are probably pouring the water to fast, and the air is not having a chance to escape, so it forms bubbles n blocks the tube, n then over flows

Pour it very slowly, a tiny trickle at a time, until about half the sand has darkened slightly, then leave it for a couple of hours, and the water should soak into the rest of it :)
