Works well!
Country life can be expensive when the tree roots clog the septic. This is a good product and recommended to me by the septic company! I have been using this for a couple of years now and find it keeps my drains clearer, easy to use, no bad smell, and cost effective. Thank you for making a great long lasting product that functions and performs the way it was designed.

Keeps the septic main line clear
About a year and a half ago my septic backed up and nothing I could do would get it flowing again so i had to call the professionals in. Turned out my main septic line from the house to the tank was clogged with roots so $900 later they were able to power snake it out and clear the line. The septic guy told me I can avoid this happening by using this stuff every 6 months. I flush a half of a bottle in my downstairs toilet (closest to the main line). I have had no more problems and drain is clear.

works as expected
Used this for some root issues in the pipes, and it seems to be doing the job. Easy to apply and no hassle. Good product to have on hand for basic maintenance. Would buy again if needed.

Good Product
I got this to use after the Main Line was cleaned due to a bunch of small roots. This should kill the roots!

Works Well
I use this annually in my septic pump tank to help kill roots in my drain field. I have been doing this for 8 years and I have not had any issues. I dissolve it in warm water and pour it into my pump tank. I have heard some copper sulfate root killers can harm helpful bacteria in a septic system, so a few weeks after using this root killer, I add Pro-pump to my first septic tank.

Awesome! Highly recommend this!
I have access to my sewer drain right outside my house. It started over flowing in my yard. I put a scope camera down my sewer and I had roots. I used this root killer. After 2 weeks I don't have any standing water in my drain pipe. Drains fast and clear now! Highly recommend this and will use again every 6 - 8 months!

Plumber instructed me to put 1cup in toilet for every 2 weeks to hopefully prevent further issues. No further problems at this point!

Keep roots from clogging your sewer lines
I've been using this product for maybe 10 years to keep roots out of my sewer pipe. Prior to using it, I had to have my sewer line snaked two different times. Since using it on a quarterly basis, no need to call the plumber and have the lines cleaned out.
