Nordic Pure 16x16x1PM10C-4 Merv 10 Carbon Air Filter 4 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x16x1PM10C-4 is a dual-layer pleated air filter combining a MERV 10 filtration medium with an activated carbon layer fused directly to it. Rated MERV 10 (equivalent to MPR 1000), it captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and other fine particulates. The carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing unwanted smells without sacrificing airflow. The filter measures 15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches actual size and ships in a 4-pack. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced HVAC-savvy homeowners install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. It performs well in homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies and respiratory sensitivities. The 16x16x1 nominal size fits a wide range of residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers. The filter media is permanently electrostatically charged, acting as a passive magnet for airborne particles with each air pass. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on household conditions, occupancy, and the presence of pets or ongoing renovations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or a qualified service professional. Set the system thermostat to off and shut down power to the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Because actual filter dimensions (15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches) differ from the nominal printed size, always measure the existing filter or the filter slot before ordering to ensure proper fit.
