The Reason It Fills Up Slowly
The most important factor in determining how long it takes for the toilet tank to fill up is the water pressure. However, most toilet tanks can be refilled in under a minute. If it takes longer than that for the toilet tank to fill up, there is probably a problem.
These are the reasons your toilet fills slowly, along with solutions.
Water Supply Valve Issue
A knob is visible on the wall below the toilet tank. This knob is your water supply valve. It could be the cause of slow tank filling if it isn’t working correctly or is stuck partially closed. A buildup of dirt or debris could also be a problem with the water supply valve. A buildup of dirt and debris can cause water flow to be restricted or even stopped.

How To Fix
The first thing you should do if you suspect that the water supply valve may be causing the problem is to make sure it is fully open. If the water supply valve is not opening completely and is still not providing enough water, you should call a licensed plumber to check for debris.
Waterlogged Float Ball
The amount of water entering the tank is controlled by the ball that is floating on top of it. Sometimes the float ball can get waterlogged. It will not allow water to flow properly into the bowl if this happens.

How To Fix
Check the water level by removing the tank lid. You may have a problem with the float ball if it is not fully filled. It is easy to remove the old ball from the float arm and replace it with a new one.
Issues With Fill Valve Tubes
The fill valve tube’s purpose is to regulate the water level in the tank. The fill valve tube can become clogged, worn down, or out of alignment over time. Water flow problems can easily be caused by any of these conditions.

How To Fix
The fill valve should be located on the left side, with the tailpiece extending through the bottom. It could indicate that your toilet tank is having issues by filling the valve.
