old

I purchased a house last year with what I assume is a pretty old pool. There is metal coping that I am assuming is aluminum. I would like to replace the converter decking around the pool because it settled and the coping. Is the coping connected to the pool? How would you remove it? thanks in...

I had originally posted below in 2012. Not much has changed other than the pool may have only been open 1 year or so since I posted. The photos attached are from 2013. As you can see the pool stained a bit between when I acid washed in 2010 and the photos in 2013. Apparently I didn't care...
