My company hauls bulk cement. We tried a spray foam bottle of this product on my aluminum tank. Buildup came right off. Left some on until the next rain (a few days). Cement came right off without any etching or burning.
This Stuff Works!

This stuff takes off concrete like nothing else I have come across. Warning though because it will eat any concrete it touches including your driveway.
Thumbs up!

I've operated concrete pumps over 10 years.This stuff is by far the best product I've ever used. Spray on old (who knows how old) concrete..let sit over night..reapply in the am before work..power wash after work and it looks like a completely different machine. Will use the rest of my career!!!

Worked better than expected. Def easier to use than an acid. Give it 15-20 mins and the concrete will get very soft.
WOW

These guys do not BS! This is the best concrete remover my shop has ever bought. Takes about 15 minutes for it to get mushy but then you just wash it off.
Can't believe it!

My wife & I purchased our home a month ago. We immediately noticed that our master shower drained very slowly, so much so that water would back up and pool around our feet after 10 minutes of showering. Once the shower was over, the water would subside.
We called Ideal Plumbing to look at our drain, and the plumber showed us that a block of concrete had formed down the drain pipe. He speculated that the contractor was sloppy & concrete had gotten down the drain. In any case, he tried to break up the concrete with his tools, and ended up clogging the entire drain completely. No water would drain at all. He then quoted me a price of $2700 to fix the problem (jack hammer, new plumbing, etc). I was livid!
So after bailing out & siphoning my shower, I turned to Google & stumbled upon the RoMix website. After watching a few YouTube vids, I decided to purchase 2 gallons of the Back-Set Platinum ($50 + shipping).
Yesterday, I received my order & poured the liquid down the drain. I heard a crackle, saw a lot of foam, then the foam subsided. I poured the rest of the gallon down the drain, and nothing rose to the top of the drain. I then opened the second gallon, poured, and waited about an hour. I then turned on the shower – and bingo – the water drained without any problems. I ran the water for 35 minutes and it never backed up.
This stuff is magical! My shower now works better than we purchased out home!
Now I’m wondering if I should go into plumbing!

The Back Set worked great. I used it to remove cement mortar and thinset from ceramic tile that was installed circa 1962. I needed to save/reuse the tile to match the bathroom. The mortar was over an inch thick. Soaked the tiles for a day or two and the mortar usually just slid off the tiles. Some had small spots that had to be scraped. Tile was perfectly clean. You should get the product mentioned on "how to remove stuff from ceramic tile websites". Great product.
