I placed an order PondPro2000, but it's on backorder w/no ETA. I recently discovered Sani-Tred. Has anyone used either of these products? The odd dimensions of the pond will not lend to any EDPM liners. It's "L" shaped, sitting between a board walk and patio.
Initially the pond construction consisted of pressure treated 4x4 and 3/4 plywood w/a fiberglass liner, topped w/a gelcoat and finished w/PondGuard. It lasted about 3yr before a major crack appeared due to the wet spring. I will never use PondGuard after that project.
The pond has since been excavated and replaced w/5000 PSI aggregate concrete and Wilson's Latex Jet Set for the masonry coat. See attached:
Construction specifics:
FYI, the koi are in an above ground pool ATM. I need to wrap this up before November.

Construction specifics:
- 10"x10" footers
- 6" thick walls
- 4" deep floors
- All have been reinforced w/rebar and mesh
- There are no expansion joints between the walls and the floors since the max width is 2'.
- The poured concrete has a PVC water barrier between it and the earth (even the footers).
- All surfaces will be smooth (still working on the left section)

I don't have experience with a concrete pond, but have read posts on a koi forum, recommending this product xypex concentrate.
