Why is my toilet tank filling up so slowly?
The most common reasons for a valve to slow down or no longer fill the tank after the flush are debris issues and the length of time a valve has been in use. Valves in use for a period of 7 years or more can have their working parts start to wear out.
What should I do if my toilet tank is slow filling?
A slow-filling toilet tank is a relatively common problem. Depending on your water pressure, a tank usually refills in about three minutes. Make sure the water shutoff is completely open for maximum water flow. If that doesn’t help, you might need to clean the pump and valve.
Why is my water tank filling so slow?

How can I Make my fresh water tank fill faster?
Check for kinks in the fill hose between the tank and the fill opening. Check for even and proper slope in the fill hose between the fill opening and tank. Improve if you can.
