One of the most devastating problems for volumetric mixer operators is false setting concrete. Not only does false set slow down things on the job, but it can also be damaging for the reputation of your business. False setting concrete is a unique challenge for volumetric operators and there are very few solutions available.

Just add Water Conditioner to the water tank of your truck and place your concrete with confidence.

Water Conditioner works well alongside most other admixtures. When using multiple admixtures in your concrete, be sure to dispense them into the mix one at a time. In fact, to get the best results from our false set concrete admixture it should be added at the plant. This gives it enough time to evenly disperse throughout the water.
