A: If the plastic hose from the ballcock**is not in the overflow tube, or the hose is clogged, the bowl will not fill correctly. Check that first. Next, check the water level in the tank. It should be 3/4" below the top of the overflow. Adjust it as needed using the plastic screw on top of the ballcock**.

    • The ballcock is the thing that looks like the Seattle Space Needle with the brass rod protruding that attaches to the ball float.
">Because it was not properly install by the plumber. I think you need a good plumber.

Ans 3 - If your fill valve is more than 10 years old go and get a new Fluidmaster A400 - cost about $16 - takes 30 minutes to fit !

Take lid off cistern and check float [round plastic ball] has not stuck on side of cistern if ok it probably needs new washer in ballvalve [i usually fit new ballvalve] make sure you turn off water supply before you take anything apart if you replace ballvalve you will need a new 15 mm fibre washer between ballvalve and pipe connection. If the problem is the bowl not flushing it needs a new syphon in cistern.

Remove the tank lid and check the long metal rod with a plastic bulb at the end. This is the "float" and its purpose is to shut off the water valve when the water level reaches a certain point (to avoid overflowing). To adjust this, you simply bend the metal rod so that the bulb floats higher, thereby shutting off the water when the level is higher in the tank. When you bend the rod, hold it with both hands so you do not damage something on the flush valve at the other end.<<<---- this answer is for adjusting the fill level of the TANK the readneck way. its easyer to adjust the fill valve by turning the screw ontop of the fill valve.

The reason why the toilet BOWL does not fill all the way is because it needs only a certain height of water to make the trap work so you don't have sewer gases coming back from the drain line and if you have to much water in your bowl then it wouldn't flush right and probably over flow. If the bowl is filled all the way then you need to either unclog or plunge it.

Inside the toilet tank there should be a small hose off of the fill valve that should be clipped to the inside of the fill tube to allow water to fill the bowl while it refills the tank after flushing.

That means that your toilet is clogged, or your toilet was clogged and you need to just flush once more.

The toilet tank does not fill up after flushing because your float valve is either bad or set wrong. You need to try to change the setting. If that does not work, you need to replace it.

In the tank there should be a small tube inside of the center over flow tube. This puts water back into the bowl. Sometime they can slip out of the clip that hold it in place.

Why is there already water in toilet bowls?

Under what circumstance? New toilet, when you turn the water on, water goes down the overflow tube to fill the bowl. You don't have to flush it the first time to fill the bowl.

What is the problem when you flush the toilet the bowl does not fill back up?

Most likely, the problem is in the cistern (the thing behind the toilet bowl with the handle in it). If you think it's obstructed, lift the lid on the cistern and see if you can see why; otherwise, fill a bucket with water and pour it quickly into the bowl. That flushes the toilet and will serve until you can get a plumber to deal with the cistern. It will also help to keep the risk of disease low.


Installed new toilet bowl is very low water after about an hour didnt have this problem before?

All toilets have a different normal level. The first flush could have created a vacuum and pulled it lower. Try a second flush. Is the small fill tube in the tank running into the overflow tube? This runs into the bowl and will help fill it.

What would cause a toilet to continuously keep filling the bowl?

Which part, the tank or the bowl? If it's the tank, you have a problem with a restriction between the tank and the bowl. If it's the bowl, you have an obstruction in either the neck of the toilet or the drain pipe below the toilet.

What is causing the toilet bowl to slowly empty after it fills and after the water tank fills?

the toilet bowl will fill the bowl to a specific level to allow the trap to work properly and once the tank is done filling then you should have no water running into the bowl. To test and see if your tank is leaking into your bowl just put a few drops of food coloring in your filled tank and if you see the color in your bowl then you most likely have a leaky flapper or flush valve or can be your height of your tank water is to high and its running through the overflow or the fill valve is syphoning.
