Product details
The Unicel C-7496 is a replacement cartridge element rated at 105 square feet. It measures 7 inches across the outside diameter and 25-5/8 inches long, the dimensions that decide whether a cartridge fits the tank it is going into.
Matching it to your filter
The source lists the filter manufacturer as Purex, the line now carried by Pentair. It also carries two different filter model numbers against this cartridge, which is why the safest check is the physical one: pull the old element, measure the outside diameter and the overall length, and compare them to the numbers above.
When to replace
Cartridges are consumable. Once a soak and a rinse no longer bring the filter pressure back to where it started, or the pleats are torn, thinned or permanently discolored, the element has done its work and a new one restores flow.
