Just get a roll of pillow stuffing, polyester fiber fill, that is not rated as safe for children. The stuff rated safe for children has that rating because of fire retardant chemicals that have been added to the polyester fibers.

Hi , I couldn't source the pads locally so used filter floss , spread it out in the tp basket and put the carbon pad on top of it , it slowed the flow down a touch , nothing dramatic though and gives a nice polished finsh to the water.......

I have done extensive research into this.... ALL UK suppliers ONLY sell "wadding" (as its called) that has been treated with fire retardant... I used to use this, and recommended it wholesale - but since loosing some stock, I decided to investigate.

If WELL rinsed, it is reasonably stable - but I no longer use it, and cannot recommend it, sorry !
