Review: Works Great! As Long as You Do it Right... - This stuff is great! As long as you do it right, but the instructions are pretty vague. Step one: When you pour it in the toilet, do it in thirds. Put 1/3 in, then flush. put another 1/3 and flush, then ad the rest of it in, and flush. This gets it into the drain system, where it needs to be, to interact with the roots. Step two: Leave it alone, for at least 8~10 hours! The longer, the better! Step three: When you're ready to flush the line, fill your bathtub with HOT water. Once it's completely full, open the drain, and let it completely flush the line! If you do it like this, it'll flush the roots out, and restore your drain! I've done it this way for several years, (Twice a year) and it's always worked, for me anyway.
Review: Maintenance - It works for maintenance. I ended up having to call the Roto-Rooter man, but I showed him what I got and he said to use it for maintenance. So far, so good

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i had a tree removed and they left the stump. Will this product remove the stump?**
A: Copper sulfate can be used to accelerate the decomposition of tree stumps.  Multiple holes should be drilled in the stump (2” wide and deep or more is recommended), then filled with the CS.  The sooner, the better after taking the tree down.  I do not know if the CS Pentahydrate will have the same effect, though.  Another effective method is to heap on leaf mulch.  Both methods require time and patience.

**Q: How many applications of this product do you do to kill roots in your septic line?**
A: I started by getting rid of roots with a snake. Since I've treated twice a year to keep them from coming  back

**Q: is it okay to use on old clay sewer pipes?**
A: Well mine are clay and my house hasn't caved in yet

**Q: my root clog was about 80 FEET from the floor drain... almost to the tap..  will this be effect on material that far from the initial insertion point?**
A: My roots were found about 40 to 60 feet out from my house where my line joins the city line.  After the Plumbers initially cut through the roots to clear the blockage, I started using the root destroyer.  That was 2 years ago and I haven't had issues since.  I have a toilet in the basement and per the directions I dump about 1/2 pound or so into that toilet and flush, repeating this about four times until I used the whole 2 pounds.  I do this twice a year in late spring after the thaw and things have started showing signs of growth and in fall before the temperature drops too much.  Like I said I haven't had to call a plumber since.  I would think it would work for you, it will only cost you 14.99 to try.
