Algae (it's microscopic and you can only see it once it's a runaway train) is likely being filtered, quickly overloading your 200 sq ft cartridge. It was fair to blame the old cartridge but the new cartridge does the same.
Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to prove/disprove that, then SLAM Process if necessary
