Why is my toilet filling up with water?

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. If not and the toilet keeps running, adjust the toilet tank float up or down.

Why does my toilet not flush when there is not enough water?

What to do if there is no water in the toilet tank?

What makes water come out of the toilet tank?

A flapper is made up of rubber and chlorine resistant material which holds the water from running down the toilet until you press down the handle, which would then pull the chain connected to the flapper. Doing this would then lift up the flapper and allow water to flow directly into the bowl from the tank.
