Product Description

This 4 pound container of RootX comes with the application funnel and is packaged as two dry powder components in one container. When these components come in contact with water they create a sticky foam that fills the entire pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the RootX formula. RootX leaves a residual above the water line that continues to kill roots and inhibits new growth for up to 12 months.

Did it the first time

We added this to our house main line because after scoping it and seeing the we had a bunch of roots coming in hairline cracks but there was a root barricade backing our system up. We are 6-7 months in with no recurring backups and am adding another soon to clear anything that my still linger. I said it's a value for sure. It beats 15k in main sewer line repair if the roots destroy the main.

Follow THESE instructions for toilet

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

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

Wear a good particle mask

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

Very Foamy, Hope It Does The Job

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I decided to use the larger 4# container since I have a long sewer line and I wanted to be sure to get it good. After reading these reviews I waited to purchase till just before I used it so it would be fresh. Not sure I needed to do that as it seemed well sealed but didn't want to take chance on it clumping up. I ran water into the upstairs bathtub so I wouldn't have to use buckets, then I mixed the RootX as instructed and dumped it in the clean-out in my basement and yelled for my wife to flush the upstairs toilet and start draining the bathtub.

When they say this stuff foams they're not kidding. The foam immediately started boiling up out of the basement floor drain, the basement toilet, and the basement shower. I quickly flushed the toilet, which forced that foam back down into the sewer line, but the two drains made a big mess.

Lessons Learned: Next time I'll put a plug in the floor drain and shower drain before dumping in the RootX, and I'll also be ready to flush the basement toilet as soon as my wife starts the water running from upstairs. With any luck that'll keep from having to clean up any mess. Now I have to wait to see how well this stuff works, but at least I know it definitely fills up the entire sewer pipe!

Using RootX through the toilet

Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

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.

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.

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.
