    Toilet wants to top up water
    My toilet tries to top up water constantly when not being used.

    Can you give advice please

    More details please! Apartment or single family dwelling? Are there any units above you? Let me know, Tom

    Sounds like a leaking flapper. Put some food color in the tank and look in the bowl in 5 minutes. See color in the bowl?

    Brain,
    Did I misread the complaint?

    His complaint was that his bowl filled up to the top WITHOUT any use. Not that it was leaking from the flapper and refilling. Sounded to me like he had a partial blockage and a upstairs neighbor flushing down on him. Let's see what he has to say. Regards, Tom
