Does anyone know if the plumbing for an in-floor cleaner should be in the soil or if it is ok directly in the shotcrete? The Paramount site says in soil, but ours was placed in the shotcrete. We have shotcrete cracking and wondering if that might be the cause?
Installation of in-floor cleaner system
- Thread starter Waterfan
- Start date
The final finish is not on. We are not sure if it will be plaster or pebble or ecofinish over the shotcrete. I don't want to post pics because I don't want my contractor to know it is him. He is a hot-head and we have to tip-toe around him.
I can't comment on the in-floor cleaning system, but thin shallow cracks are not uncommon in shotcrete. The finish will cover them.

The only pipe that should be in the shotcrete is the riser from the trunk line which should be in the soil. If your builder is a registered Paramount builder he should be following there construction specifications
We had a Paramount rep come out and he said as long as it is under 6 inches of shotcrete it doesn't matter if it is in the soil or the shotcrete. Apparently our shotcrete is 8 inches thick so it is ok.
