Instructions

When reduced water flow is noticed due to root growth, apply Zep Root Kill to prevent complete blockage. Apply 2-6 pounds of product twice a year for preventative maintenance. To apply, pour 1/2 pound of product into the toilet nearest the sewer line and flush. Repeat until the recommended dose is reached. Alternatively, pour the product directly into the sewer line through a cleanout plug. Flush the toilet several times after application to ensure the product reaches the affected area.

Pro-Tip: For best results, use twice a year as a preventative treatment, especially during spring and fall, to maintain optimal water flow and prevent root blockages.
