    Can you not buy a $2.00 reusable filter sock and bulk Carbon and make your own. I would cost a ton less and likely available everywhere

    Here is a bag online Here

    it has a specific slot for the carbon and it helps reduce the micro bubbles. that is why i wanted to see if anyone has found them on the web.

    You should measure it because there are tons of those types of carbon pads at your local fish store for various hang on the back filters. You might find one that fits.

    Monkey you could try contacting the manufacturer , they may be able to help you in locating parts- I am pretty sure this is the web address you need:
    TAAM Inc., Aquarium Products: Rio Hyper Flow Pump
    I hope this works out, no promises but it's worth a shot- good luck
