Review: Slow but effective - The first time I bought this, I wrote a bad review, as it didn't immediately do anything. But, after a few weeks I noticed my drains were no longer backing up during heavy rainfall. To my surprise the roots had obviously been killed & slowly been washed away. Unfortunately, as roots do, they grew back a couple of years later. Again, same process & same pleasing result. I'm now on my third purchase, which should tell you I'm really pleased with this, as an alternative to digging up the drain & physically removing roots. Which would cost way more!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have to be flushed? could i instead empty it down the bath? pipe with root isn't connected to the toilet. also is it effective for a hopper?**
A: The instructions are loo focused and as such the powder is emptied in the loo and then it needs washing down the drain to where the roots are. I would be worried about putting it in a plastic bath and think it would be hard to get it down the plug hole. Re hopper surely it would be easier to just cut or pull the roots out.

**Q: Can this be used to clear roots from cast iron pipe**
A: I tried it but don’t think it worked. However it may have been a faulty batch as it did not foam in the pipe.

Great product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ arrived early- good condition
*by S***L on 22 July 2020*

Well packaged and in good condition - flushed easily and I hope it works - its a bit early to say. I saw one review where it was no longer powder but this was airtight and triple wrapped in good condition-frothed up nicely and flushed no problem - went to work - no weird chemical odours when I returned. I hope it works because I and unable to access the roots or kill the offending tree. Some granules remained at the bottom of the bowl for a few days afterwards but him used to that with the rock salt I've been using. I'll pop the camera down in a while but I believe it takes a few months for the roots to disappear from the pipe after this treatment.
