Yeah, as a not-geologist, it looks very concreate like except for those large river rock looking pieces embedded in it. Google says there is a sedimentary rock called conglomerate that years of playing Dwarf Fortress didn't prepare me for, so it might be that.
Closest picture I could find:

Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded clasts that are over two millimeters in size and bound together by a cement that is usually composed of calcite or quartz.

Is that a coastal thing? Never seen equipment up on racks like that. I can see that the pool equipment was originally set at ground level then raised later.

Doesn't that make it WAAAY harder to prime the pump, since it has to overcome all that gravity to pump water up that pipe to the pump?
In my own backyard today: I'm tearing up the concrete decking around my pool to replace it. The decking that was in there was only an inch thick with no rebar support and was full of cracks.

Yes it does, which is why there should be a check valve below that pump on the suction side. But there is a check valve on the return side (plumbed horizontally) that just kinda goes back into another pipe below a three way valve, so its basically doing nothing. Like I said, that plumbing job is weird. Maybe the pool is up a hill and above the equipment so it makes more sense.
Old cantilevered deck/coping on that pool. No surprise the deck was shit. Probably built by Blue Haven 20 or so years ago.

Yeah this whole area floods so they build 600k homes starting on the second floor.
The pvc is a disaster so we doing what we can. It was way worse.

No idea on the plumbing, pool is ground level and below. There is a heater and a cooler attached to all this but I know nothing about it.
