Real World instructions

These instructions are on the RootX jar. I rewrote them here and added what you can really expect when you open the jar.

Black text= actual instructions on jar.
Blue text= my real world observation/opinion.

"Add entire contents of a 2lb jar into a pail or bucket and mix the two components that were in the jar thoroughly. A proper mixture has been achieved when both chemicals A and B form a tan mixture of white and brown chemicals. This process should take about 2 minutes."

OK this is a bit confusing. It should say "The jar comes with two chemicals, 'A' white and 'B' brown, when thoroughly mixed you should get a tan color." This is still not accurate. I've found in many instances the 'A' white chemical is already tan.

"Then slowly poor the ROOTX mixture into the toilet bowl slowly, or a sewer cleanout if available. When applying into the toilet make sure to flush immediately after emptying the contents into the bowl. This will help avoid the foam overflowing the bowl. Make sure that when you are pouring the chemical into the application site you do not create a splash which could come in contact with the users eyes. The user must wear chemical resistant gloves at all times when handling the the product. When applying into a sewer cleanout, flush the toilet one time or up to up to 3 times for 1.6 gallon low flow toilets, or add 3-5 gallons of water behind it to push the foam completely through the sewer line. Restrict water usage from four to six hours after application."

Furthermore, There is a tissue in the jar that needs to be removed. The tissue was used to keep 'A' white chemical separated from 'B' brown chemical. The tissue is a joke. I have never opened a jar of RootX where the tissue kept the two chemicals separated, this is probably why the 'A' white chemical is already tan. I always found the tissue to be either shredded or rolled up into a ball and on several occasions moist and the powder lumpy. I've also found in several instances a fuzz build up on top of the chemical just under the lid. Basically, throw away the tissue, pour the jar in a larger bucket mix the two chemicals and apply as stated above. When used properly and for the correct reason. These "not perfect issues" I've pointed out have no effect on its performance.
