High water in the tank is usually a result of a misadjusted float, whereas high water in the bowl may be caused by a worn flapper or a waste blockage. If you’re having trouble with either the float or flapper, you’ve probably noticed the fill valve cycling on and off or running continuously.

How do I lower the amount of water in my toilet bowl?
