    Looks like this is what you are looking for:
    Waterway Pro Clean 100 => Unicel C-8409
    Unicel specs are 8 15/16" OD; 17 3/8" long;

    The pressures you report are consistent with a collapsed filter. I'd recommend getting two cartridges and swapping them out whenever pressure climbs to 5 psi above initial. Once you get the cartridges, use this guide to cleaning them:

    Purchased 2. I'll post again when installed with psi readings.

    Pleatco was at 4psi
    Unicel cartridge installed and at around 3psi.
    Pic of both side by side is with pleatco after running 2 days after being sprayed off.

    Dumped bag of shock I mentioned before Sunday night as I was starting to notice algae growth. FC currently at 3.2ppm

    Do you notice any difference between the cartridges? Is the filter material in the Unicel stiffer? Is the Unicel company name stamped or molded into the end pieces?

    Yes, stiffer. UNICEL was stamped on the end piece. The pic is of the label.

    If you think to do so, I'd love to have you post a follow-up in a month or so.
