(Conductor/subpanel sizing advice is below, if you wish it.) I'd recommend instead using individual XHHW-2 Al conductors instead of a triplex (with an 8AWG copper THWN-2 or XHHW-2 wire for the EGC, of course) - this will be easier to get through the conduit than a triplex, and also isn't liable to short the neutral to ground unexpectedly if you're running it in red brass.

That 125A number is overkill, requiring a 1/0 or 2/0 triplex in Al.

Otherwise, you're stuck with RMC or IMC (NOT EMT) - likely red brass to avoid corrosion. being clobbered with a mower or whatnot - 4x4 corner posts around the panel should do the trick, as would mounting it in a drained pump room or pit using an outdoor enclosure, provided clear working space is maintained). You can use Schedule 80 PVC or RTRC-XW for the entire run provided the stub-up is protected from physical damage (i.e.

You actually cannot do this - the wire run must be in conduit as per 680.25(A)(1).

I will answer your questions in turn, and then add a few notes at the end - the code for pools is complex, partly because they are bespoke installations for the most part and partly because of how pool electrical safety evolved over time. Is there likely a better way of going about this?.Confirming that in the sub-panel, I DO NOT need to bond the neutral and equipment ground.Will the #2 aluminum triplex, with a #8 insulated ground suffice?.Can I direct bury the wire, and then enclose in PVC conduit where it goes above ground to enter the panels?.
