I am trying to increase the capacity of my water flosser by using the
jug to fill the flosser.

The problem is that it overflows it.

I tried restricting the flow but no luck.

Lowering the height did not help either.

Any ideas,

Andy

Use a non-flexible jug, and have the bottom of the tube at the lower
level you would want the water to go in the receiving container. when
the water gets lower, water will come out, and air will bubble up the
tube to replace it. when the water level gets above the tube, the air
and water will stop.The flexible jug you used will just collapse, and
the water will not stop. Tube size may need to be adjusted to supply the
correct amount of water with each blurp of air.


That was my first idea too, but I think that temperature variations
in a bathroom may result in overflows. Float valve at the bottom
would be more reliable.
