Nordic Pure 13x21.5x1CM12-3 Merv 12 Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 13x21.5x1CM12-3 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack, sized for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Each filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At MERV 12 efficiency, the filter captures lint, household dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, dust mites, smoke particles, and virus carriers on every pass. MERV 12 is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 ratings used by other manufacturers. The actual dimensions are 13 x 21.5 x 0.75 inches, which differs from the nominal size printed on the filter - verify actual slot dimensions before ordering.

These filters are designed for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential and commercial environments. They provide a higher filtration level than standard fiberglass or low-MERV disposable filters, making them appropriate for households with pets, occupants with moderate allergies or asthma, or any application where improved indoor air quality is a priority. The pleated media design increases surface area for better airflow and longer service life compared to flat-panel filters. Replacement interval is typically every 1 to 3 months depending on occupancy, pet traffic, and local air quality conditions.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified building maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the unit disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter to match. Inspect the filter housing gasket or channel for debris before inserting the new filter to ensure a proper seal with no bypass gaps.
