Nordic Pure 10x20x1PM8C-2 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x20x1PM8C-2 is a MERV 8 pleated furnace air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 2-pack. The dual-layer construction fuses electrostatically charged filter media with a carbon layer, delivering particle capture alongside odor control in a single filter pass. The activated carbon attracts and holds odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including smoke, pet odors, and cooking smells. The antimicrobial filter media resists bacteria and mold growth. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame and a bonded metal mesh support grid keep the filter structurally stable throughout its service life. Nominal size is 10 x 20 x 1 inches; actual size is 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems including gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems. It is an appropriate choice for households with pets, cooking odors, or occupants sensitive to airborne particulates such as pollen, dust mites, lint, mold spores, and pet dander. HVAC technicians and homeowners typically install this filter during routine maintenance intervals. Nordic Pure rates this filter equivalent to an MPR 800 filter and confirms it outperforms fiberglass, poly disposable, and non-electrostatic washable filter types in particle and odor removal efficiency.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 10 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnace, air handler, and central AC systems. Verify fit against the actual size of 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual filter dimensions differ.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners during scheduled filter maintenance. Always shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat or disconnect before removing and replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system run time; more frequent replacement is warranted during home renovations or high-pollen seasons.
