Fill a bucket up with water, water was flowing out of it

I put the hose into the bucket to fill it up, but I was distracted for a while by my kids, and by the time I look at it, it's (the bucket) already filled up and water was flowing out of it.

The tank is filled up and now the water is flowing out of it. Please turn off the tap.

Please correct my sentences.
