Is there a brand of autofill valve that has the HIGHEST setting (water level)?? I have used Fluidmaster 400A and the highest level is still too low for my 1950s pool….

My autofill stopped working in my 1950s pool. My pool guy put in a Fluidmaster 400A, but this does not get the water level high enough (turned all the way/max height). The pool guy threw out the old one, so I don’t know which one to buy. Is there a filler that would fill to a higher level? Please tell me the brand. If anyone lives in AZ that can help??

If you have fully extended the inner tube of the Fluidmaster 400, you may need a 3/4" MPT to FPT riser.
The shortest riser of this type I've seen will provide about a 1" rise.
Take your fill valve with you to be sure the threads are correct.
Use teflon tape on the threads.
Be careful not to over-tighten the fitting and/or fill valve. You don't want to crack the threads in the bottom of the autofill canister.
