This is awesome. I cannot wait to see the finished product. as I was reading through and got close to the end of the thread I started getting like nervous excited I was going to get to see it completed!!! LOL

I guess I'll have to wait a little bit. Great project.

Yes. I poured a new 4" ish slab on top of an existing 4-6" ish slab, which sits on top of a 24" footer. So around 32-34" of solid concrete under it.

Ok Thanks I Am Still Unsure What I might Do. Was Thinking of putting shower drain in the bottom then pouring the floor for quick draining the tank and cleaning or repairs if nessary. it would be drain and then suction pipes to clean the bottom up and then bread trays they river roack to hide it all

Im positive this was asked before but how much sanitred did you use? how much did it cost per unit? whats a unit? what color is the stuff you bought? :)

I would imagine its fairly cheep, considering they expect people to paint > oylmpic sized pools with the stuff...

I believe you are referring to Dryloc, maybe not. But dryloc is a sealant, while Sanitred appears to be a rubberized coating, which is more reliable under pressure.
