IS the "Material" a cartarage or loose?
Cartarage.. Bag it, Then Bag the bag (This is classed as Haz Mat (Hazardous Materials so double bag) and take to someplace such as Camping world to see if you can match.
NOTE: there are filters for specific uses. Such as filtering iron out of the water, Others are "General purpose"
If it is loose. odds are it's been exposed to very rusty water and what you are looking at (yellowish color) is in fact Rust
My filters.. I will describe my home made filter re-fill
Dump everything into a bag as noted above
Fill with a handful of FILTER FLOSS (this is a white fiber stuff sold in FISH isle at Wal-Mart.. Live fish, as in pet fish that is)
Then a bottle of activated charcoal.> The plain stuff, not the anti-algae stuff, Same isle
More Floss
And re-assemble
I really like my filter. Full design on request.
