    Toilet problems
    My toilet does not work correctly. Water does not come out from under the rim when flushed. It seems all the water comes out from the hole in the bottom of the bowl. I have tried cleaning the holes as suggested but it still isn't working properly.
    Thanks,

    The rim holes do more thenjust wash down the bowl. The also start the swirling action. If you can't clear the rim holes with a coathanger you might try this. Before you go to bed shut the water off to the tank and drain it. Lift the flapper and pour Draino down ithe hole into the bowl and let it set all night.. Hopefully some will get in the rim and work on whatever's clogging it. Failing that the only thing I kinow what to do is to replace the toilet bowl. Good luck
