How to use RootX

RootX is fast and easy to apply with no special equipment required. For severely blocked pipes where mechanical root cutting is also needed, be sure to treat the pipe with RootX within the first hour after cutting the roots to ensure proper chemical absorption.

RootX jars

RootX jars offer a convenient method for treating residential service laterals and septic systems. The cleanout is the preferred method for most residential applications because the cleanout is closest to the pipes where roots can cause problems. If there's no cleanout at your customer's location, you can apply RootX using the toilet. To prevent foam overflow outside the pipeline, you should only use a 2-lb. jar of RootX in a toilet application.

Cleanout method

•  Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the system cleanout.

•  Pour 1 1/2 to 2 gallon of water per pound of RootX used to activate the root-killing foam.

•  The natural flow of the line carries the foam down the pipe.

Toilet method

•  Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the toilet.

•  Flush the toilet to activate the root-killing foam.

•  The natural flow of the line carries the foam down the pipe.

Septic system applications

•  Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the septic tank.

•  Pour 1 1/2 to 2 gallon of water per pound of RootX used to activate the root-killing foam.

•  Pour RootX into the distribution box to kill roots intruding into drain field lines.

After a residential application, your customers should limit water use for at least an hour, allowing time for roots to absorb the RootX chemical.

How RootX works

RootX is a simple, cost-effective and proven way to kill pipeline roots in residential sewer lines, storm pipes and septic systems.

RootX uses the aquatic herbicide Dichlobenil. It's non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic, and it contains no diquat dibromide, copper sulfate or metam sodium. RootX is classified as a General Use product by the Environmental Protection Agency, and it's registered for use in all 50 states (EPA registration #68464-1) as well as Canada. In addition, RootX carries the signal word CAUTION, the lowest chemical hazard rating according to the ISO 3864-2 standard for hazard severity panels.
