    Pellet toilet cleaner sucked into toilet
    I dropped a blue pellet toilet cleaner into the toilet and it got sucked in - when I flush the toilet now it makes a horrible jack hammer sound. Will this thing ever dissolve? Is there anything I can flush down the toilet to make it dissolve faster?

    Thanks

    Should probably use a closet auger and break up the pellet. Or wait a month or so and it should desolve. I won't recommend using acids to desolve, can be very health hazardous.

    How many flushes was the pellet supposed to be good for. Say it was two hundred. You could flush the toilet two hundred times. Lol

    Maybe try like a drain cleaner or something? Not sure if that will work but that is what they are made for... to break up and dissolve things that are blocking drains. Plus this thing is supposed to dissolve eventually. Otherwise did you try plunging it out?? That would be so annoying so good luck!
