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 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.

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.

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.

Great product
I have a sewer line that gets clogged from roots and needs cleaning out every few years. I have been using this for over a year now, time will tell!

Works as expected.
Like any Zep product I've used, it works incredibly well. I've used this before with great results. I've got a big shrub next to my "tank" and my shower drain has a tendency to run slow. This takes care of the problem.

Container Sucks, Not sure about Ingredients yet
The manufacturer uses a plastic bottle with a twist to tighten and close lid. It has a safety feature similar to vitamin bottles, where you have to push the lid down to open it. Well, the safety feature doesn’t matter because the little granules of chemicals easily leak out while the lid is on. There’s also no safety seal under the lid. The manufacturer needs to improve the packaging so it doesn’t easily leak out and also so it’s safer.
