Does RootX harm trees and plants?
No. RootX only kills the roots inside the pipe and prevents their re-growth. Since the RootX foam only flows through the pipe, it has no effect on roots outside the pipe. • Can RootX be used in septic systems? Yes. RootX can be poured directly into the septic tank and distribution box to kill roots that have intruded into the tank and drain field lines. • Is RootX hard on pipes or septic systems? No. RootX contains no diquat dibromide, copper sulfate or metam sodium. The RootX formula is non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic. RootX also promotes bacterial growth, which is good for septic systems. By contrast, mechanical root cutting, which cuts and tears at roots that become embedded in the pipe walls, can eventually destroy a pipe’s structural integrity. • Will the RootX foam stop or block any flow during application? No. RootX foams on contact with water, and it uses the natural flow of the line to spread the foam throughout the pipe. Wastewater continues to flow under the foa
No. RootX only kills the roots inside the pipe and prevents their re-growth. Since the RootX foam only flows through the pipe, it has no effect on roots outside the pipe. • Is RootX hard on pipes, septic systems or wastewater treatment plants? No. RootX contains no diquat dibromide, copper sulfate or metam sodium, and it has no effect on the wastewater treatment process. The RootX formula is non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic. RootX also promotes bacterial growth, which is good for septic systems. • Can I use RootX with my jetter truck equipment? Yes. With the vacuum method, you can use the cleaning nozzle at the upstream manhole to create a vacuum that pulls the RootX foam down the line. And for 8-inch and larger pipes, you can attach the FDU 100 foam dispersal unit to your truck’s water hose. The FDU 100 disperses a foam spray throughout the pipe, allowing you to use the same amount of RootX to treat pipes of varying diameters. The FDU 100 is also more efficient than the di
