{"product_id":"unicel-c-7626","title":"Unicel C-7626 Replacement Filter for Hayward CX250RE | 25 Sq. Ft.","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pz-pdp\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Unicel C-7626 is a pleated polyester cartridge filter element engineered as a direct OEM replacement for Hayward Star-Clear filter housings, delivering 25.0 sq ft of effective filtration area through a Reemay nonwoven polyester media pack with nominal 20-micron filtration efficiency. Dimensional specifications: 7.0-inch OD, 1.5-inch ID, 9-15\/16-inch overall length, with closed-bottom and open-top ABS injection-molded end caps seated on a center-supported PVC core. The element is rated for continuous service at operating pressures up to 25 PSI and water temperatures to 104°F. End cap bond chemistry and pleat geometry are held to OEM tolerance to ensure bypass-free seating in factory-original housing seats and consistent ΔP performance across the service cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eService interval recommendation: residential installations should replace the C-7626 annually or when ΔP rises ≥ 8 PSI above the documented clean-filter operating baseline, whichever occurs first. Intermediate maintenance: fresh-water rinse every 4–6 weeks, with chemical soak (dilute TSP or enzyme cleaner) every 3–6 months to remove oils, lotions, and organic loading that resist rinsing. Chemical compatibility: polyester media and ABS end caps tolerate continuous operation at ≤ 10 ppm free available chlorine; muriatic acid wash at 1:20 dilution (20-minute maximum exposure) is compatible for calcium scale removal — rinse thoroughly prior to reinstallation. Enzyme cleaners are compatible without restriction. Verify housing O-ring condition and reseat per manufacturer torque specification at each service; confirm post-installation clean-pressure reading to establish updated ΔP baseline. Standard Unicel 90-day manufacturer defect warranty applies through authorized distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order includes the selected quantity of replacement pool filter cartridges.
