Intex is one of the most recognisable names in above-ground pools and inflatable recreation, and its range gives UAE retailers an unusually broad product portfolio to build around. This guide matches the main product categories currently shown on Al Qadah’s Intex page with selected products from the current Intex Recreation Corp. range. The objective is not simply to list products, but to highlight the kinds of SKUs that can help retailers build a balanced Intex assortment for the UAE market.
Al Qadah’s Intex categories are Swimming Pools (Above Ground), Play Centers, Swim Accessories, Swimming Floats, Inflatable Furniture and Inflatable Boat. Intex’s current product catalogue contains corresponding product families across all six areas.
1. Swimming Pools — Above Ground
Above-ground pools are the core of the Al Qadah Intex category. Intex currently separates its pool range into Kids, Easy Set, Metal Frame, Prism Frame and Ultra XTR Frame families, giving retailers multiple price, size and performance levels.
Intex Prism Frame™ 16ft x 8ft x 42in Rectangular Pool with Filter Pump
SKU: 26791EH
This rectangular Prism Frame pool is designed to provide more usable swimming space than a traditional round frame pool. Intex specifies puncture-resistant 3-ply material, powder-coated steel tubing, Hydro Aeration® technology, a 1,000 GPH cartridge filter pump, ladder, ground cloth and cover. The stated water capacity is 2,873 gallons at 90%, with approximately 60 minutes required to prepare it for water.
Why retailers should consider it: The rectangular format is easy to position as a family backyard pool and gives retailers a substantial mid-to-upper-range SKU around which to cross-sell maintenance kits, replacement cartridges, covers and pool lighting.
Intex Ultra XTR® Frame 16ft x 48in Above Ground Pool with Sand Filter Pump
SKU: 26325EH
The Ultra XTR range moves the retailer into a more premium above-ground pool proposition. Intex’s Ultra XTR line uses galvanized steel with additional powder coating, an enhanced 3-ply liner and sand filtration. The current Intex catalogue lists SKU 26325EH as a 16ft x 48in round Ultra XTR pool with sand filter pump.
Retail positioning: This is a useful upgrade SKU for customers who want a larger, more substantial pool rather than an entry-level inflatable pool.
2. Play Centers
Play centers are an important category for retailers serving families, resorts, hotels, day-care operators, recreational venues and event businesses. Intex’s current play-center catalogue includes themed designs with slides, splash areas and water-play features.
Friendly Octopus Inflatable Play Center with Slide
SKU: 56138EP
The Friendly Octopus combines an inflatable play pool, slide and water-spraying feature in a colourful children’s product. It is designed to connect to a garden hose and creates a visually strong retail proposition for summer and outdoor recreation.
Retail opportunity: The bright theme makes it suitable for family-oriented stores and seasonal displays, while its larger format creates an opportunity for retailers supplying resorts, play areas and rental operators.
Candy Fun Inflatable Play Center with Slide
SKU: 57144EP
The Candy Fun play center uses a colourful sweet-shop theme with a water slide and ball-toss activity. Intex describes it as a summer play product that connects to a garden hose.
Retail opportunity: Themed play centers can work particularly well as visual products in catalogues, social media and seasonal retail displays because the customer can understand the experience immediately.
3. Swim Accessories
Accessories are where retailers can turn an occasional pool sale into a broader and potentially repeat-purchase category. Intex’s catalogue includes filtration, sanitation, cleaning, covers, ladders, lights and other pool accessories.
C1000 Krystal Clear™ Cartridge Filter Pump — 1,000 GPH
SKU: 26637EP
The C1000 provides 1,000 GPH pump capacity and a 750 GPH system flow rate. Intex specifies compatibility with above-ground pools up to 6,000 gallons and highlights Hydro Aeration® technology, replaceable cartridges and easy installation.
Retail opportunity: Filter pumps are practical attachment sales. They can be stocked alongside pools and marketed as an essential maintenance purchase rather than an optional extra.
Type A Pool Filter Cartridge
SKU: 29000E
This replacement cartridge is made with easy-to-clean Dacron paper and is compatible with several Intex cartridge filter pumps. Intex recommends regular cartridge replacement for maximum filtration efficiency.
Retail opportunity: Consumable filter cartridges are especially attractive to retailers because the original pool sale can create an ongoing replenishment requirement.
4. Swimming Floats
Swimming floats are lower-ticket products that can broaden the customer base beyond pool owners. Intex’s floats and toys range includes novelty ride-ons, pool toys, lounges, mats and children’s swim products.
Tropical Flamingo Ride-On Inflatable Pool Float
SKU: 57559EP
The Tropical Flamingo is a visually distinctive ride-on float measuring approximately 58 x 55 x 37 inches when inflated. It features two heavy-duty handles, two air chambers and a 220 lb maximum weight limit, with an age grade of 14+.
Retail opportunity: Statement floats can generate impulse purchases and are highly suitable for seasonal pool, beach and resort merchandising.
Baby Duck Ride-On Inflatable Pool Float
SKU: 57556EP
The Baby Duck is a novelty ride-on float with two air chambers and heavy-duty handles. Intex lists an approximate inflated size of 58 x 58 x 32 inches and a 220 lb maximum weight limit.
Retail opportunity: Novelty designs give retailers an easy way to create a colourful pool-fun section and encourage add-on purchases alongside pools and swim accessories.
5. Inflatable Furniture
Inflatable furniture extends Intex beyond swimming and into temporary seating, home recreation, events and hospitality. The current Intex catalogue includes chairs, loungers, sofas and children’s inflatable furniture.
Empire Chair Indoor / Outdoor Inflatable Lounger — Green
SKU: 68581EP
The Empire Chair is designed as a modern take on a papasan-style chair. Intex describes its ultra-thick vinyl construction and water-resistant finish, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor leisure environments.
Retail opportunity: This type of product can appeal to customers looking for flexible seating for bedrooms, lounges, gaming areas, temporary accommodation and outdoor relaxation.
Empire Chair Indoor / Outdoor Inflatable Lounger — Assortment
SKU: 68582EP
The assortment version adds a multi-colour retail proposition. Intex lists yellow, blue and green as the assorted colours and describes the chair as suitable for adults.
Retail opportunity: Assorted colours can be useful for retailers because they add visual variety without requiring several separate product designs.
6. Inflatable Boats
Inflatable boats are the most specialist category on the Al Qadah Intex page, but they can be valuable for sporting-goods retailers, outdoor stores, fishing businesses, rental operators and water-recreation specialists. Intex currently offers Sport Series and Professional Series boats.
Mariner™ 3 Inflatable Boat Set — 3 Person
SKU: 68373EP
The Mariner 3 is built with Intex SUPER TOUGH PVC using three layers, including heavy-gauge PVC and polyester mesh reinforcement. It has two inflatable thwart seats, fishing rod holders, a gear pouch, motor-mount fittings, aluminum oars and a high-output pump. It is designed for three people with a stated maximum weight capacity of 880 lb.
Retail opportunity: The combination of boat, oars, pump and fishing-oriented features creates a higher-value outdoor recreation product rather than a simple inflatable toy.
Mariner™ 4 Inflatable Boat Set — 4 Person
SKU: 68376EP
The four-person Mariner uses the same SUPER TOUGH PVC construction concept, with reinforced flooring, a keel rock guard and additional structural features designed for boating and fishing.
Retail opportunity: A four-person version gives retailers a natural upgrade path for customers who need greater capacity or want a boat for group recreation.
Build an Intex assortment rather than simply stocking Intex products
The biggest opportunity for an Al Qadah retailer is to think in terms of product groups. A pool customer should see filtration and cleaning products nearby. A family buying a play center can also be offered floats and pumps. A water-sports customer can move from a boat into accessories and pumps. This creates a much stronger retail proposition than displaying every SKU independently.
Intex’s own product structure supports this approach. Its catalogue spans above-ground pools, filtration and sanitation, floats and toys, sporting goods, air furniture, pumps, spas and replacement parts.
Important UAE sourcing note
Retailers should pay close attention to the exact SKU and regional electrical specification when sourcing Intex equipment for the UAE. Intex’s US website contains products specified for 110–120V, while regional UAE listings may use 220–240V versions. The SKU should therefore be checked against the intended UAE specification before an order is placed.
For example, Intex’s technical documentation identifies separate 110–120V and 220–240V versions of certain sand-filter pump models. This is an important purchasing consideration for UAE wholesalers and retailers.

Why this product mix works for retailers
A strong Intex assortment does not need to contain every product in the manufacturer’s catalogue. It needs a sensible mix of high-value core products, mid-range family products, lower-ticket accessories, seasonal impulse items and replenishment products.
That is why the six Al Qadah categories work well together. Above-ground pools generate the major sale. Play centers widen the family recreation offer. Swim accessories create attachment and repeat sales. Floats add colourful seasonal products. Inflatable furniture opens another leisure category. Boats bring in outdoor and sporting customers.
For retailers looking to stock Intex in the UAE, this creates a practical starting point for building a category with depth rather than simply carrying a few popular SKUs.
