You can extend the float arm out some that will provide more pressure on the diaphragm. But what I have found with them is that they will overflow if water pressure is above 55lbs (our city water pressure is at about 85lbs). They are rated to 120lbs I believe, but I have yet to see one that can get anywhere near there. I have install pressure reducing valves and that solved my issues. I also had to replace a diaphragm in one.

So are you saying you had to replace the diaphragm because of the water pressure being to high? I do have a spare unit.... Maybe I should just purchase a diaphragm kit also. I was afraid the unit would fall apart or something?
