There could be a clog in the pipe that make water to back flow. Call a professional to check for the broken pipes or clog and to fix it.

Hi bubba
You have a stoppage between the drain and the septic tank, or ladderal pipe going to the sewer.
The stoppage will cause water to flow into the bathtub.

SOURCE: Toto Toilet - no water flow to refill tank after flush

Remove the tank lid and look at the fill valve. Is it a yellow valve?
This fill valve is common on the Toto Toilets and can easliy plug with debrie.

They can be disassmbled and cleaned. however, I usually just replace the valve with Fluid Master Fill valve.
You will also want to check the water coming into the toilet by turning off the water that supplies the toilet and disconnecting the water supply line. After removing the water supply line turn on the water at the valve to make sure that the water is flowing properly. Check the supply line also to make sure it is not plugged.
Be sure and place a small container to catch the water that will come from the valve. A towell will also help from making too much of a mess.
If the Supply line and the valve are clear the problem is in the fill valve.
The G-Max system denotes the Flushiing system which is a 3" flapper that allows the water from the tank to flow into the bowl quicker.
Good Toilets!

SOURCE: Master bath toilet replaced with a Cimmeron class

Kohler is correct. The most likely cause of this problem is an obstruction in the common vent stack that both toilets share. When you flush the old toilet it need more air to flush and will get it from the easiest source (your new water saver toilet). First adjust the float level in the old toilet so it won't use as much water or just stick a brick in the tank to take up space.Second, run a snake down the vent stack from the roof to check for obstructions. Birds will sometimes nest in there.

SOURCE: standard toilet will not flush

If this is a new development, then you have a partially clogged drain or maybe a crack in the bowl assembly. If the toilet always did this, then perhaps the drain pipe was not installed correctly.

I would remove the toilet and run a snake through to the main stack. If you find that is clear, check the bowl for cracks and check the tank water level to be sure that the tank is filling to the water line on the tank

SOURCE: Downstairs toilet won't stop filling, upstairs toilet won't fill

for the upstairs if the valve is fully on there is not much you can do other than replace water service to the house or heaven forbid repipe.Valves usually don't restrict fill volume.But you can take the supply loose from the tank and stick it in a bucket turn the valve on and check the flow.this should narrow it down.Down stairs repair or replace flush valve

When flushing a toilet, the bath tub gurgles

Strange, I gave a long and involved answer to this question, but it isn't here! Ah, Fixya didn't like a term I used for the residue that old soap causes. The word is 'sum' with a 'c' in it.

You probably have a birds nest in the vent pipe on the roof and it is creating a vacuum.

You can also use drain opener in the bath tub. Run very hot water, and add drain cleaner. Wait 15 minutes and add a cup of very hot water and more drain opener. Leave 12 hours. Put the plug in the bath and add 6" of hot water and then pull the plug. This will flush away soap build up in the pipe especially where the bath outlet enters the soil stack. It builds up there as a lip.

Takes a long time to fill tank

You need to replace the gasket in the fill valve if it is a problem that was not there when it was new. If it is new? Check the water flow from the supply line to the toilet. Turn of the water to the toilet, remove water line from toilet, run water into a bucket to check flow. @ the bottom of the fill valve where the water connects, on the inside there may be a screen that in plugged

Both toilets and bath tubs are clogged.PLEASE help . its a crane but i dnt knw the model.

You have a main drain clog. The sinks are clogged too (run water and you will see it come up the tub). Is this a one floor house? Basement? You probably should call a plumber unless you are willing to take on the task of snaking it yourself. Sounds like you may have a house on a slab? (no basement)?

I know I can take a bath without turning on the jets. However; does the bath water with soap flow back into the jets? I like bubble baths, If I leave the jets off can I use the bubble bath without having...

The soapy water will fill all of the jets, tubes and the pump assembly. Will it hurt the tub if the jets are not running? The soap film will build up in the jets, tubes and pump assembly and can possibly cause damage if the tub is run at a later date. Contact the tub manufacture and see if there is a safe bubble bath you can use.
