One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for increasing compressed air efficiency in a pump that utilizes an air efficiency device in order to optimize the amount of a compressed air in the pump. The air efficiency device may allow for controlling the operation of the air operated diaphragm pump by reducing the flow of compressed air supplied to the pump as the pump moves between first and second diaphragm positions. A sensor may be used to monitor velocity of the diaphragm assemblies. In turn, full position feedback is possible so that the pump self-adjusts to determine the optimum, or close to optimum, turndown point of the diaphragm assemblies. As such, air savings are achieved by minimizing the amount of required compressed air.
