Root Destroyer

Product Description

Active Ingredient: Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate (CAS #7758-99-8)

When invasive tree roots find their way into your plumbing, you need a root killer for sewer lines that clears blockages without harming your landscaping. It is important to treat with Root Destroyer when reduced flow is first noticed and root growth is thought to be the cause. Do not wait until complete stoppage occurs; some flow is necessary to move the Root Destroyer to the area of root growth. After roots have accumulated sufficient Root Destroyer (usually 3-4 weeks), the roots will die and begin to decay, and water flow should increase. Follow-up treatments with Root Destroyer will be required for regrowth of roots. Sanco Root Destroyer contains 2 lbs of pure copper sulfate crystals engineered to target and eliminate root intrusion at the source.

Made up of high-purity copper sulfate crystals, this powerful formula effectively controls invasive septic and sewer pipe roots without harming the health of your trees. By attacking only the root tissue inside the pipes, it stops new growth and keeps your plumbing clear, making it a reliable, preventative root killer for sewer lines and main drains.

Key Features & Plumbing Safety Guidelines

Use a clean, bulleted format to make the application rules easily scannable for both users and search engine crawlers:

• Targeted Elimination: Only roots inside the leach line will be killed, keeping the tree itself completely safe.
• Plumbing System Safe: Formulated to be safe for all standard plumbing and septic systems.
• Bacterial Recovery: Root Destroyer will temporarily reduce bacterial action in your tank, but levels will return to normal approximately 15 days after treatment.
• Drain Restrictions: Do not apply through sink or tub drains. For maximum safety and efficacy, always apply through the toilet or a dedicated cleanout.

Application & Dosage Instructions

• For Septic Maintenance: Use Root Destroyer at the rate of 2 lbs. in an active 300-gallon septic tank twice a year, or anytime you experience reduced water flow thought to be caused by root growth.
• How to Apply (Toilet Method): In 1/2 lb. increments, pour Root Destroyer into the toilet bowl nearest the sewer line and flush. Repeat this process sequentially until the full recommended dose has been added to the system.
