Beachcomber two-piece microfilter, generally pre-1995 is the group name on the Beachcomber row C-4405 cartridge (SKU 3005825). Match these numbers: OEM 3005825; Unicel C-4405; Pleatco PRB25SF-PAIR; Filbur FC-2387. 4-15/16" across, 6-5/8" long, top 2-1/8" / open, bottom 2-1/8" / open, 50 sq ft.
What the sources add about 3005825: Beachcomber's two-piece 50 sq ft set for the same generally pre-1995 upfront weir as SKU 3005820. The page says the 50 sq ft medium doubles filtration capacity and prints no length. Unicel and Filbur size it at 4-15/16" x 6-5/8", longer than the 35 sq ft pre-1995 cartridge, so it is not the same body with more pleats. Unicel counts 158 pleats and 4 oz, two per set. Pleatco prints PRB25SF-PAIR at 5" x 6-5/8".
