The X-14 Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner tablet fell down the water flow hole - how can I clear it out?

We recommend just letting water run through the water flow. The tablet will eventually dissolve. Try to prop the flapper valve open a bit and just let the water flow. You can also try to expedite the dissolving by trying to break it up with an article such as an unbent wire hanger.
