2. Adjust The Water Level

The overflow tube guarantees that your tank does not overfill and flood the floor. However, if the fill valve is set too high, there will be a small leakage into the overflow tube and the bowl. The result is a fill valve that automatically turns on, frequently topping up the tank. You can correct this problem in the following way:

Re-set the float's fill valve. Some valves have metal rods and small clips you squeeze to slide the clip, thus floating up and down on the rod. If this is the case, move the clip down to lower the water level. If it is an old fill valve with a tank ball and long rod, cautiously bend the rod in the middle to allow the ball to go slightly deeper into the tank.

Now, flush your toilet and let it refill and stop on its own.

The water level should now be about ½ to 1 inch beneath the top of the overflow tube.

If necessary, adjust the float, and flush again. Do this until the refill stops at the correct level.
