It was the item I requested. Fast delivery. Thanks

The ROOTX Root Intrusion Solution Kit has proven to be an exceptional solution for dealing with root intrusion in my plumbing system. This bundle, which includes a 4-pound container of ROOTX and a convenient funnel, has exceeded my expectations in both effectiveness and convenience.First and foremost, the effectiveness of ROOTX in eliminating root intrusion is impressive. I had been experiencing frequent clogs and slow drains due to tree roots infiltrating my sewer lines. After using ROOTX as directed, I noticed a significant reduction in root growth and improved drainage. The powerful foaming action of ROOTX kills roots on contact and continues to inhibit their growth, providing long-lasting results.The convenience of this kit is worth mentioning as well. The 4-pound container provides ample product to treat multiple applications, ensuring I have enough to tackle recurring root intrusion problems. The included funnel is a thoughtful addition, making it easy to pour the ROOTX solution directly into the drain or toilet without any mess or wastage.Another aspect that I appreciate about ROOTX is its non-caustic and non-fumigating formula. It is safe to use in all types of plumbing systems, including septic systems, without causing harm to the pipes or the environment. This peace of mind is invaluable, knowing that I am using a solution that effectively solves the problem without causing further damage or pollution.Furthermore, the application process is straightforward. I followed the instructions provided with the kit, and the foaming action of ROOTX spread through the pipes, reaching the areas affected by root intrusion. The convenience of not needing to remove or dig up the roots manually makes this solution a time-saving and cost-effective option.

This was a recommended product. It was first used by my late husband for a root issue. I did not see how he used it. But glad I remembered the name.Since I didn’t realize the container was double that I bought for what I needed, I had to weigh out half the container. Easy enough but even easier if I had bought the right size container. Being my first time I had the aid of my son to help pour recommended amount of water in as I put solution in basement toilet.No foam overflow, no mess. I think the timing of the water pouring is important to get the foam quickly down in the pipes not to expand and overflow in the bowl.I will surely buy and use it again as needed. And would recomend it to others with a root problem.

I've had root problems in my sewer line in the past, so this year I decided to try RootX as a springtime preventative measure. I applied it through my toilet and I can't speak to its effectiveness, yet. I just wanted to give prospective users some idea of how they will use RootX. My 5 star rating is really for prompt shipping and ease of use.I ordered this product from Vancouver, Canada and the seller shipped next day and delivery time for me was about 7-10 days. So best to order BEFORE you have problems.RootX is actually 2 different compounds in a plastic box which are separated inside the box by a hard plastic divider. The two compounds must first be mixed together and then dumped into water to function as foam. That foam will expand 3 dimensionally so users are instructed to push the foam down into the sewer with water. The foam is meant to coat and kill any roots that are already in your pipes, while simultaneously coating the entire inside diameter of your pipe to prevent further root intrusion (at least for a while).I think most urban residential systems would require a 2 pound treatment rather than the 4 pound application sold here. For me, this 4 pound box was more cost effective when delivery was included. With box in hand and a light behind, it's easy to see through the RootX box and see the level of the powders on each side of the divider. I just shook the box to level each side, measured each side, marked halfway, and spooned half of each side into separate plastic bags. I was moderately careful and it was easy, not messy and I ended up with two 2 pound treatments.The "funnel" screws onto the plastic box, replacing the lid of the box. Its function is to provide a mixing chamber for the two compounds. By turning the box up and down the compounds move in/out of the box/funnel and mix. You could do this in a plastic bag if you didn't have the funnel, but the funnel does have a snap lid on its end, so after mixing you can hover the box/funnel over the toilet and pull off the lid and the mixture falls directly into the water. Only 2 pounds of product will fit in the funnel so one would have to mix very diligently to thoroughly mix the whole 4 pounds if you're using it all in one go.Although some RootX instructions say use one 5 gallon pail of water to push the foam into the system, the instructions that come with this box say one 5 gal pail per pound of product. So my 2 pound application required 2 pails, which I happened to have on hand. These pails are readily available, reasonably priced at home supply stores. Personally, I would not try to get by using a large kitchen pot or small laundry pail or something. There's no time for re-filling the container.This is a probably best done as a two person job. One person can pull the funnel lid, letting the mixed powder fall directly into the toilet water and immediately flush the toilet. The other person stands by with a pre-filled pail of water and pours it in right away, followed by the second. Just a little pre-arranging of the humans and the pails in the limited space and it's easy. If you're alone, you must have everything ready and standing by, and proceed in quick order. After application, don't flush the toilet again (or use other appliances that use the sewer line, like the bath/shower, laundry or dishwasher) for the (recommended) 4 to 6 hours, so best to do the application before going to work or before bed. (You can still use the toilet - just don't flush). We wore masks when we applied, thinking there might be harmful dust, but actually there was no noticeable dust at all.I certainly hope this product can keep my pipes free of roots. It's a big, long, hard, yucky, messy (or expensive) job to snake roots out of your sewer. As far as using RootX in this kind of application, the hardest part is actually lifting the heavy 5 gallons of water. Just be pre-organized and the application is easy and not messy at all.

Easy to use but it didn't foam at all in the process or when I looked into inspection ports?I might try a mixture of salt, vinegar and sodium bicarbonate next time.

Product arrived from seller as advertised and fairly quickly given covid-19. Bought 4lb container. As per directions, only used half given length of my pipe. Directions not as bad as advertised in reviews or in YouTube demos, but I would recommend sticking it in sewer cleanout and chasing with a bucket of water instead putting in toilet. Foams up very quickly. Could easily overflow and make a mess of your bathroom. Could see plenty of foam building in cleanout. Pretty sure it coated pipe and any roots hanging in it. Will use other half in the fall. Hopefully it will help keep plumber away for a few years.

Let me get these 3 things out of the way first:1. Step 4 and Step 5B are incredibly misleading, and the biggest reason peoples toilets overflow with this stuff. These steps need to be COMBINED as one step.2. Reading all the reviews, I notice that nobody ever mentioned having 2 people work together on this. This is VITAL!3. Obviously buying the 4 pound tub with the funnel is the best money saving option, but just remember, you may only be able to use half of the container (like me). So I dumped the contents into 2 ziplock bags to ensure they were even, and then I dumped one of those bags back into the ridx container so I KNOW its 2lbs.Now for the procedure:Step 1: Have one person in charge of flushing the toilet AND dumping the Ridx contents. The other person is responsible for dumping the 5 gallon bucket of water. All 3 steps must happen AT THE SAME TIME! I promise you, if you time it correctly, this WILL work. Be sure that when you flush the toilet, you press it ALL THE WAY DOWN and hold it until the flush is complete. Many modern toilets (like my Kohler) have 2 options for flushing. A light flush, where only half the amount of water is used (e.g. when you urinate) . A hard flush will obviously use more water and power (which you want). The person dumping the 5 gallon bucket can actually start "slightly" dumping right before the flush happens (just to give you some momentum for when you need to dump it all at once). You WILL see foam rise up and think you screwed up. You didnt. Keep dumping.Step 2: After everything has been flushed, you can dump an additional 5 gallons of water and flush the toilet again to ensure the Ridx gets its way to the outside pipes (especially if you dump it in a toilet on the upper floor like me, as it is my only one in the house).Step 3: That other 2 pound ziplock bag you have, dump it back into the ridx container (with moisture trap packets if you have them) and seal the lid so that you can use it again in 6 months. Hopefully the stuff wont cake up on you.That's it. I researched this for HOURS before I did this last night, and was sure I didnt make the mistakes as others (the biggest is people not dumping the 5 gallon water at the same time as the ridx and the flush).Hope this helps

I find RootX to be the only product out of all the ones I tried to work well on destroying roots and last 8 months to a year, much better then paying my plumber 500 to cut the roots which just grow back quickly.

I don't need to dump any down a toilet, so I didn't need to use the applicator. But you have to mix this stuff up absolutely thoroughly. I did this indoors, and the dust from merely pouring it into a container made me cough my lungs out. So warning - do not breathe the dust in any quantity. Mix it out doors, in the wind, or wear a good particle mask. Second, I always keep some large spaghetti jars around the house. I put it in one of them to mix it up - worked great. And finally, don't just dump it all into your sewer at once. It'll clump up and become a problem. Pour it in slowly, and try to cover as much area as possible, despite the fact that you're pouring it into a tube. This will help keep it from clumping.I've done this once in the spring, and I intend to do it once again in early fall.Edit: I managed to put this in the toilet successfully without the applicator. Instead, I used a toilet plunger. Not a sink plunger, which a lot of people mistake for a toilet plunger, a real toilet plunger designed to make a seal with the hole in the bottom of your toilet bowl.First, I turned off the water to the toilet and flushed as much water out as I could. Then I used the plunger to push as much water through the trap. Then I left the plunger to drain in the sink while I mixed up about half the RootX. Then I poured the RootX into the plunger and filled up a bucket of water and put it by the bowl. Then I quickly put the plunger in the toilet bowl and made a seal as best I could. I plunged the mixture into the trap. Foam started entering the toilet bowl from under the rim, so I knew it was thoroughly foaming up. Then I turned the water back on and used the bucket to flush the foam down the toilet as best as I could. Not much foam escaped that first flush.
