Nordic Pure 12x30x1PM10C-3 Pleated Carbon Filter Merv 10

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x30x1PM10C-3 is a MERV 10 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 3-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It combines a MERV 10-rated filter media with a fused activated carbon layer, delivering two stages of filtration in a single filter. The dual-material construction captures airborne particulates while the carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The actual size is 11.88 x 29.88 x 0.75 inches, fitting openings sized for a nominal 12x30x1 filter. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance intervals.

This filter is suited for forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems in residential homes and offices where both particulate filtration and odor control are priorities. It performs well in environments with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies. The activated carbon media targets smoke particles, pet dander, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, lint, household dust, and virus carriers. Nordic Pure rates the MERV 10 performance of this filter as equivalent to MPR 1000. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor conditions and filter loading.

Key Features

• MERV 10 pleated media fused with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to attract and hold airborne dust and particles
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for pleat stability
• 33 percent more surface area compared to standard flat-panel filters, reducing flow restriction
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems that accept a nominal 12x30x1 filter. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 11.88 x 29.88 x 0.75 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

This filter is installed by HVAC technicians or homeowners during routine system maintenance. Always shut down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and at the disconnect before opening the filter compartment. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it toward the blower, not toward the return duct. Replace the filter every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently during high-use seasons or home renovation activity that increases airborne particulates.
