How do I stop the water from running in my toilet?
Adjust the Fill Height by Checking the Float The water level in the tank is controlled by an adjustable float. A float that’s set too low produces a weak flush; if it’s set too high, water spills into the toilet overflow tube and the fill valve won’t shut off. The toilet keeps running.

When do you turn off the water on a new toilet?
This can happen any time the water is on and may happen after a new installation, a few days later or even months and years after installation. Turn off water and flush the toilet. Reach into the tank with your right hand and lift up the float cup and grip the gray shaft and hold it in that position (see photo below).
Why does my toilet run for a few seconds?
Most commonly, something is preventing the flapper from closing completely. Therefore, it is always letting a small amount of water out of the bowl. Then, once the toilet tank is empty, the fill valve is triggered, and it refills the tank. That’s what you hear when your toilet runs for a few seconds—the tank refilling.
What should I do if my toilet tank is full?
After you do that, turn off the water to the toilet as added insurance and flush it. The tank won’t empty completely, so sponge out what’s left in the bottom and transfer it to the bowl. Note: Follow proper procedures to prepare all other fixtures and appliances connected to the house water supply.
