Paul, in a lifetime of experience with concrete and masonry I would recommend any sealer that you apply after wetting the concrete. This will help the sealer absorb into the surface of the finished concrete better than any surface applied product. ie: paint on.. generally Burke sealer is available from any good industrial chemical products supply company and is applied after wetting the concrete with a broom or large brush. Generally two coats are used with the second coat applied without wetting a day or two after the original coat. Your slab will shed water like a duck's back from then on!! The slab in my shop was sealed over 10 years ago and 8s still very water / liquid resistant! That sure looks like a fancy ( and expensive ) gizmo!! Have fun!! John
