    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.

    Well it hasn't been quite a month yet but I'm getting algae growth again. It's been raining for 40 days and 40 nights it feels like. Right now my FC is 3.0 and CC is 0. I just opened the housing to see the filter since I last posted and the image below is what I found.

    The psi is still at 4.

    Also, I'm not sure on how often I'm supposed to add chlorine or the proper level. I've been adding a bag of that shock plus every 5 days or so until it's all gone and then I'll purchase something else.

    I'll pick up 6 gallons of bleach again and put it in tonight unless I hear otherwise.

    If you are getting algae, then it is because you are letting your chlorine get too low. How often are you testing the water? Run a set of tests with your K-2006 and post them along with your volume. What are the ingredients in the shock plus?
