I would think you would be able to pour in one piece. What is your pool deck?

I then would say to provide something similar to an interior shower pan would have. A waterproof sub-slab and then a stamped overlay.

How do you plan to 'bond' the new shower floor to the existing concrete deck?

They must be 'bonded' together or cannot be used under most electric codes....
