ROOTX – The safe, simple and effective solution to pipeline root intrusion…
RootX is a non-systemic, patented chemical root control formula. This means it only kills the roots with which it comes in contact, not the tree or plant itself. The active ingredient, Dichlobenil will not only kill roots, but will also prevent their re-growth for up to one year. RootX is the #1 environmentally safe, easy to use, root killer on the market today.
How Does It Work
RootX is packaged as two dry powder components in one container. When these components come in contact with water they create a sticky foam. This foam fills the entire pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the RootX formula.
RootX leaves a residue above the water line that continues to kill roots and inhibits new growth for up to 12 months.
The active ingredient in RootX, Dichlobenil, is applied at concentrations of .55% or 5500 parts per million. This is 55 times the minimum level needed to kill root tissue exposed to Dichlobenil from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Safe and Easy Application
RootX is packaged in convenient 2 and 4-pound jars. Application is made by a Professional Plumber or Drain Cleaner. The RootX formula is poured either into the toilet or outside sewer cleanout and followed with 3 to 5 gallons of water. RootX is safe to use when applied in accordance with the directions for use by a Professional Plumber or Drain Cleaner.
Save Money
RootX can be used with or without mechanical root cutting equipment. Some situations such as a root blockage will require mechanical removal of roots. Mechanical removal is an excellent short term solution. However, if the roots are cut and left untreated (just like pruning a tree or a bush), they will come back bigger and stronger. This process will eventually destroy a sewer line and require the line to be dug up and replaced. The replacement of a sewer line could cost much more than an annual treatment with RootX. Ask your Professional Plumber or Drain Cleaner about an annual maintenance program with RootX.
Environmentally Safe
RootX does not contain Copper Sulfate or Metham Sodium which are both harmful to the environment and to bacteria/fungi, which normally decompose dead roots. These two chemicals also have harmful effects on wastewater treatment plant biology.
