RootX is...
- 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 two
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 de-
stroy a sewer
line and require the line to be dug up and replaced. The replacement
of a
sewer line would cost much more than an annual treatment with
RootX.
Ask your Aqua Plumbing Services Representative about an
annual maintenance
program with RootX.
-
Environmentally Safe
-
RootX is EPA accepted in
all 50 states
- 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.
- RootX's patented combination of
chemicals helps promote and speed up the natural decomposition of the
dead roots. This unique ability to perform both the root killing and
removal function while being environmentally safe is exclusive to RootX.
- RootX also contains Sulfamic Acid which
is widely used to feed and preserve wastewater treatment plant
biology for transport to laboratories. This demonstrates RootX's
friendliness
to wastewater treatment plants.
- RootX has been accepted by the EPA
(#68464-1) for use in sanitary and storm lines in all 50 states. This
special patented product has passed the EPA fish and wildlife test,
LD50 and
LC50 indicating it is safe to these species in these
concentration levels.
- RootX is the safe, simple and effective
solution to pipeline root intrusion.
- RootX is sold
exclusively by Professional Plumbers and Drain Cleaners
for use in
residential sewer systems and is not sold in stores.
