What Gardeners Are Saying
Root quencher
“I had never thought to try a root quencher before. I started a greenhouse and have been growing a lot of plants. Trees. And shrubs. This device has made it easy to make sure they are getting the water and nutrients they need. It is so easy to use.”
Daniellerene
For Flourishing Fruit Trees
“Excellent idea and product. Living in the desert southwest the hardest thing as digging down deep enough to make sure Root Quencher would be able to actually reach the roots. It’s easy adaptable to different watering systems although I did have to purchase a larger adapter hose to our drip irrigation but it was worth being able to bring a sad, struggling lemon tree back to life. It is well nourished now and seeing new growth. Thanks Root Quencher!”
Elclavito
Great product
“I am very happy with this product. It was extremely easy to follow the instructions and set it up. I have already seen the benefits of it by using it only a few days. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for one that really works.”

Still Have Questions?
Can I use a Root Quencher® if I don’t have a sprinkler system?
IDI sells the parts to connect the RQ to a hose bib and we even sell hose bib timers, so no, you do not need a sprinkler system.
Can I install the RQ in a drip system?
Yes you can, ideally to a ½ drip line directly into the valve on the RQ. Be careful to balance volume between the RQ and the rest of the system
What is the difference between the RQ and Rainbird’s RWS?
The RWS has several different sizes available and you have to know the soil conditions and tree needs before buying. Also there is no way to increase or decrease water volume in the RWS and no practical way to fertilize in their device. With the Root Quencher you can adjust the flow, the depth of the device and mix fertilizer in the chamber. One size fits all needs
Is it possible to water too much through the RQ?
Yes it is, and when setting the RQ valve, be conservative on water and set it to fill once during the cycle (1 gallon).
How does the RQ differ from the Tree Gator?
The Tree Gator is a bag that is placed around the tree trunk filled with water that seeps into the ground to water. The RQ waters in the ground at the roots.
