I really wish that people with no pool experience would read up on the the rules and regulations of the pool. You never put a pool next to a house. If you look in the book that comes with it it states that it can rot the foundation of your house, it could pop or leak and flood the hole underneath of your house causing electric problems and more!! Please read the manuals that come with the pools!! Oh yeah and have fun with all the chemicals and chlorine you need to ace so it don't turn green....
