I am nearly complete with a DIY waterline tile and coping stone installation in a 25 yo gunite pool. So far so good. When I removed the concrete deck around my pool (I am laying pavers) there was a wire running throughout and which was connected every few feet to the pool beam. I cut the wire and discarded it. Now I am preparing to excavate the dirt surrounding the pool and will be laying crusher run and then sand prior to laying the pavers.

The question is, what electicral work is required and do I need to attach a wire around the pool and to the ladder, etc?
