Please suggest a correct way to fix this issue. I want to remove frog mouth and fix it properly because roots are getting through frog mouth and blocking pipes. I am thinking to connect 3 pipes to one 50mm pipe and connect one 50mm pipe to 100mm ORG.
3 pipes are coming from upstairs bathroom. 40mm from bathroom sink, 50mm from shower and another 50mm from the bathtub. Highly unlikely that any of these will be open at the same time.

Frogmouth? It must surely be different to the failed Frogmouth filter previously manufactured by SilvanH2O. sudhirI am thinking to connect 3 pipes to one 50mm pipe and connect one 50mm pipe to 100mm ORG. What is at the top of the 3 pipes? Are the 3 pipes carrying grey and/or black water? 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using siphonic drainage.

By connecting the three upstairs bathroom pipes to a single 50mm pipe, which is then linked to the 100mm ORG, you can improve flow and reduce the likelihood of blockages. Trenchless pipe replacement is a method that can fix the problem without tearing up your landscape. This is my opinion, so keep in mind that it will also be good to get advice from a professional to assess the situation and find the best solution.
