Is this product only used to kill tree roots? Will it also take care of anything else plugging up the sewer line?

CuSO4 is not going to clean out an existing blockage in your sewer line. According to my research it only inhibits growth of roots in the sewer line. I use it as a preventive measure.

I use it to kill Chinese Tallow, Honey Locust, and other undesirable trees in wildlife habitat restoration programs. I mix one gallon of Remedy to three gallons of diesel and spray the trunks from the ground up to 10 or 12 inches. Anything with a trunk diameter less than 6" is easily killed. Anything larger may take some follow up spraying.

No...this is not a sprayer you put on a hose....this is strictly for use in drain lines that are clogged...

It says it is safe for all kinds of pipes. I bought this and then bought some foaming agent and regular Root Gone. I just used this product this month. Will use the Root gone with one of the foaming agents this fall. This Roebic FRK-6 of course has both foaming agent and root killer so only have to use this one product.

Rid X's purpose mainly is to promote the dissolving and destroying waste held in a septic tank, so will be able to run-off in the drain lines. I don't think it was intended to un-clog drain lines in your set up.

This stuff kills whatever has leaves! But to be ABSOLUTELY certain, reduce amount of water used.

I really don't think it does. If you read the description, it says: *Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, VOCs, and Pesticides/Herbicides. My concern was the chlorine since I use it on my compost - chlorine kills the good bacteris. That said, all the other stuff in city water will probably kill me sooner or later! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Also, I mentioned in an earlier post, look at both ends before putting it on the hose, the one that does not have the screen should be tipped up when you remove it from the hose after use because the carbon will run out.

Yes, this product is wonderful. Add any kind of fertilizer, stick in the roots of trees and turn on the water. My trees grew quickly. This is especially good for new trees but will work on established as well. I also used it for shrubs and roses. Best item I have ever purchased for the yard!

I applied it on a wall stained by well water and hosed off. For me, it did not kill the grass. But I applied it to a small area only.

No, it does not. It would not be a substitute for a drain cleaning product.

Yep. I used it to dig a horizontal tunnel for PVC drainage pipes underground. Used a corded drill and will rip your arm off if you hit a root.

Can't say for sure but this is the best root killing product I have ever used.

I used it to kill ash saplings, some up to 3" in diameter, that were growing in the rows between pine/spruce/fir on my Christmas tree farm. I have not seen any damage to the Christmas trees.

All this does is pump a little water back into the pipe when needed. the pressure of the water going into the pipe is only slightly higher than the normal pipe pressure. Don't see how this could damage anything. I have had one for a little over a year and am happy with the results. The only recommendation I would have is to shock mount the little motor so it does not resonate on the wood or whatever it is mounted to in order to make it as quiet a possible. For the very short intervals that it is pumping, you may hear the pump but it is much quieter than the waste water was while it was going down my drain.

do you think it will KILL any thing that might be down in the Ground ! and about how long should you keep it in the hole ! do you cover the end up where you put the hose into the ground !

Yes, it will definitely kill your grass. I have tried several recipes to rid my gravel drive of weeds, but none of the "natural" recipes kills the roots.
