How to use RootX

RootX application chart



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.

Each box or case of RootX jars comes with two pairs of gloves and two dust masks for use when handling the RootX chemical. Choose the application method that works best for your location.

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
  1. Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the system cleanout.
  2. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 gallon of water per pound of RootX used to activate the root-killing foam.
  3. The natural flow of the line carries the foam down the pipe.
Toilet method
  1. Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the toilet.
  2. Flush the toilet to activate the root-killing foam.
  3. The natural flow of the line carries the foam down the pipe.
Septic system applications
  1. Pour the RootX chemical directly from the jar into the septic tank.
  2. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 gallon of water per pound of RootX used to activate the root-killing foam.
  3. 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.

RootX boxes
RootX comes in 40-lb. boxes for treating longer lines and service laterals, as well as municipal main lines. For pipes smaller than 8 inches, use the direct pour or vacuum method. For 8-inch and larger pipes, you can also use the FDU 100 foam dispersal unit. With the FDU 100, you can treat more than twice as much pipe using the same amount of RootX.
