If it is a new house, the plumbers hooked it up to the hot water supply--this actually happened to me once! Otherwise, it may be really hot outside and the water has been warmed before coming into the house.

∙ 13y agothere is many different toilet tanks that use different fill valves but the concept is the same EXCEPT for pressure assist or (mostly in commercial buildings) flush valves which do not have toilet tanks. When water flows into the tank threw the open valve it begins to fill up the tank and while the tank is filling it is also raising the float which is connect to the valve and when the float raises to a set height it shuts of the fill valve by pressure from the float arm. Pressure assist toilets have pressure tanks inside the toilet tank and uses the pressure from the supply line to flush the bowl, I think they are the best toilets to buy if you don't mind the noise and if you have good water.

∙ 12y agoYour question is actually not very clear.
Do you mean that the filling wont stop even the tanks is full and overflow out of the tank? IF that the case please do check the float because it is either the float is jammed or it is punctured.
If what youre asking is that if the float is ok but the water wont stop from flowing into the toilet bowl please do check the diaphragm of the tanks. Sometimes the diaphragm is damage that the water is not stop and keep flowing through the damage part.
Hope this help

Why would dark water fill the toilet when it is flushed?
My toilet is doing the same thing this morning. We had a big rain last night. Could this be part of the cause?

Look in the tank and see if the rod on the handle is interfering with the fill valve.
Is it bad for a dog to drink urine out of the toilet?
My little dog did when I unfortunately forgot to fill its water bowl! But fortunately the toilet had been flushed and the water was RELATIVELY clean.
Water pressure surges when flushing toilet?
There are a variety of possible reasons that would cause water not to go down when flushed. The most common reasons are (1) an object has been accidently (or spitefully!) flushed in a previous flush and lodged within the toilet or the drain pipe. (2) Build up has formed in the toilet line so that the normal contents plug the line temporarily. Solutions: mechanical snake. If necessary remove toilet. Prevention: (1) None known (2) Treat toilet line with microbial build-up remover product periodically.
Why would a first floor toilet gurgle when a second floor toilet is flushed?
The water in the lower toilet is probably being siphoned out of the tank by the negative pressure caused by flushing the upper toilet. This CAN happen if the water level in the tank of the lower toilet is over the top of the ballcock. If this is the case, the tank water is being siphoned into your drinking water! Replace the ballcock with a Fluidmaster right away. If you have a small white fill valve that sits in the bottom of the tank, get rid of it. These are illegal and WILL siphon under these conditions. If the lower toilet runs AFTER the fill cycle of the upper toilet, it may be that the ballcock seals at a lower pressure, and the pressure spike when the upper toilet shuts off causes it to run a bit until the added water closes the valve a little tighter.
Is there a way to bleed the air from your sewer line Toilet whistles when flushed?
that's because the diaphragm in the fill valve is damaged change the fill valve and you might just have solved the problem
How do you fill a toilet drain not in use?
You can't fill a toilet drain not in use as there is no 'trap' to fill with water. The best thing is to get a toilet flange cover from a plumbing store and install it on the toilet flange - i.e. the circular fitting in the floor that the toilet would normally sit on.By simple pouring a few gallons of cold water to replenish the trap seal of the fixture .. check it every few weeks to make sure there is still water above the crown weir
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 causes toilets to whistle when flushed?
My experience is when you flush the toilet, the fill valve opens and starts re filling the tank......sometimes if the water pressure is too high, it will "whistle". Close your fill valve until it stops whistling.....usually this slight adjustment will stop it from making that annoying noise
What causes household plumbing to 'groan' when the toilet is flushed?
If this noise occurs after shutting off a fixture (e.g., shower or sink), I'd pop the lid on the toilet tank and check there. Sometimes, this type of noise occurs when water pressure is reduced somewhere else, causing the fill valve to open slightly and howl like a foghorn. So, after shutting off the water and hearing the noise, pull up on the toilet tank float to see if it stops. If it does, replacing the fill valve will fix it.if still problem persist call for plumbing repair service.
Do you have a solution to stop the drop in water pressure when using shower and flushing toilet?
Increase your main line pipe size. When you have a small pipe installed, and while you showering the toilet is flushed it has to distribute the amount of water running in the pipes, resulting in the drop in pressure. Once you have increased the pipe size, you'll notice that the extra volume of water will accommodate for the extra water needed to fill the cystern while showering, therefore fixing the problem with a drop in pressure.
How do you plug a toilet bowl so it can be filled with water and vinegar?
Fill a small balloon with water and ease it into place.
