I received a confirmation from Scorpion spray coatings yesterday that there spray on bed liners will bond to expanded polystyrene and be water tight. I might be more expensive but will last a lifetime and will bond directly to the icf. So no vinyl liner or gunite.

Interesting about the Scorpion coating. I wonder what it would look like over time - it's not like you could paint it when it starts looking bad. It will stick to the ICF but what about the concrete bottom of the pool? You mentioned it being expensive - what kind of price are we talking about?

I know if this coating every gets scraped or cut with items being thrown in the back of a pickup, that small area can be resprayed and it reseals it completely. I also now that it bonds to concrete, wood and other materials. I have talked to a gentleman that sprayed it on a concrete floor in hockey arena and skate blades have not cut it when walking on it. It's tough stuff, just have to see how much it is a square foot.

I wonder about the integrity of the joint where the pool bottom meets the sides, with gunite it is not a problem as it is placed as one continous unit.

I am checking out another product, it is for sealing roofs on metal buildings it is called Hy tech insulating paint. I have purchased the product and applied it to an old pitch and gravel flat roof on our local museum it dried fairly hard and it has sealed the roof so far, this was just applied a week ago and it has rained several times since. I have noticed that even though it has stayed some what flexible it is also some very tuff stuff, I will be watching this for another week or so and if it continues to work in the application on the roof, I will find out if it will adhere to foam. If that is the case I will be the test dummy and let you know.
