It's in a concrete garage, and a foam pad is recommended over a pan.

I’ve never seen the foam pad before. What purpose does it serve?

My last place had a drain pan (third floor condo) which makes sense to me. My new place it’s on a raised platform in the garage.

It provides thermal insulation since the tank is on a concrete slab.
