Nordic Pure 12x16x1M13+C-4 Merv 13 Plus Carbon Filter 4 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x16x1M13+C-4 is a MERV 13 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 4-pack. The filter uses electrostatically charged synthetic media to capture airborne particulates including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and virus carriers. The activated carbon panel adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOC), controlling smoke and household odors without sacrificing airflow. The nominal size is 12x16x1 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches. This filter is suited for residential HVAC systems and is installed by homeowners and HVAC technicians alike during routine maintenance or system servicing.

This filter is designed for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where both fine particulate control and odor reduction are required. Typical applications include homes with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or recent renovation activity that introduces elevated dust and VOC levels. The MERV 13 rating makes it appropriate for environments demanding higher filtration efficiency than standard residential filters. NORDIC PURE rates this filter as equivalent to MPR 2200-2400. Each 4-pack supports multiple scheduled filter changes over a maintenance cycle. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on local air quality and occupancy conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 12x16x1 nominal filter slots in residential forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems. Actual filter dimensions are 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches; measure the existing filter slot before ordering to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is a standard maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners. Set the thermostat to off and shut down the air handler before removing the old filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the system. Install the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, not toward the return air duct. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.
