Increase water flosser capacity

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

Go to Harbor Freight, purchase a cheap pressure washer and clean your teeth in the shower. ^_^

Water tries to seek the same level. Out a shut off valve and fill as
needed by opening the valve.

Get rid of the tanks.Â* Just install a dedicated water outlet with water pressure reducing valve and plumb your flosser wand to that.

Why do you need a big jug?

That looks like one of those tanks that are used in dry cleaner
businesses for their steam irons.

So that's how you ended up looking like an ape. :-)

Are you going for a Darwin award as well ?

To minimize fills. I use 20 oz. per use.

I do eat small children. The toes are the crunchy part. Of course, I could get food poisoning if they're undercooked. ^_^

Remove the flosser tank and plumb the hose directly to the pump
input.
I'd lower the big tank too.

Sometimes, what seemed like a good idea at the time turns into
more hassle than it's worth.

Why mess up the whole bathroom? I use those small disposable brushes to
floss. They get under bridges and tight spaces. I was never happy with
a Water Pic.

There's no mess.

Water Pics get so much more food out that brushing and flossing can't.

Been a while since I had a water pic and still needed a little extra.
The little brushes I mention will get between your teeth and under
bridges. I agree that brushing alone does not cut it.

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.

That oughta do it.
Seems a long way to go to avoid a pitcher that you fill from the sink
and pour into the flosser two feet away...
You're gonna stand there and wait for the fill longer than it would
take to do it manually from the sink.

I put the business end of a Pur water filter on the bathroom
faucet. Flip the handle and it goes out the hose.

It only took about 20 seconds to fill without a valve.

I've invested some time into this...may end up going back to manually filling it from the jug.

Sometimes things don't go as envisioned. :-)

Yes you chose any big wall to increase water.
