Building a Liquid-Chlorine Tank Containment Pad in Pinellas
Liquid chlorine is common on Pinellas salt and tablet conversions that still keep a backup tank. A tank set on bare shell or on the pool deck will etch pavers the first time the hose drips. The pad is a containment detail, not a decoration.
Containment before camouflage
We pour or set a small pad with a curb high enough to hold a realistic spill, isolate it from the finished paver field, and pitch the curb interior to a point the pool tech can pump out. Stormwater and pool-chemical waste are not the same outfall.
Keep the tank off the screen-cage footer and off the deck joint.
Set the pad above the king-tide splash line on canal lots.
Use a chemical-resistant surface, not a dyed paver that will bleach.
Leave hose clearance so the fill does not cross the walking path.
What we do not do
We do not tie a chlorine-spill drain to a yard inlet that discharges to the bay. If the site cannot legally take the waste, the pad is a hold-and-pump curb, and the service company removes the spill. That is a layout decision, made before the pavers go in.
