The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with activated carbon derived from charcoal and coconut shells. This construction captures large airborne particles while simultaneously absorbing odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on a molecular level. The actual filter dimensions are 15.5 inches by 19.5 inches by 0.75 inches, fitting standard 16x20x1 nominal filter openings. A moisture-resistant beverage board frame and metal mesh support grid hold the pleats in place and maintain structural integrity under normal airflow conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for residential applications including single-family homes and apartments where pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, or VOCs from cleaning products are a concern. The pleated carbon design triples the active carbon surface area compared to flat-panel alternatives, improving odor absorption without significantly restricting airflow. It can also serve as a pre-filter stage in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where initial odor and particulate load reduction is needed upstream of primary filtration. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy, pet presence, and indoor air quality conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActivated carbon media derived from charcoal and coconut shells absorbs odors and VOCs at the molecular level\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 8 efficiency captures large airborne particles including pollen, pet dander, dust mites, lint, and mold spores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePleated design provides approximately three times the carbon media surface area of flat-panel carbon filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMoisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats for structural durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedia is non-growth-supporting for mold on the filter itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems using standard 16x20x1 nominal filter slots.

Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn through the system. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow in the return air compartment or filter rack before securing. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently during construction, renovation, or high-odor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pure Carbon Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15.5 inches x 19.5 inches x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Box\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-woven polyester with activated carbon (charcoal and coconut shell derived)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh support grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORDIC PURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16x20x1PCP-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084257620274,"sku":"16x20x1PCP-6","price":68.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8139eeccf6178e87421e51cf4d7be61d_15cd2888-ac15-42af-baab-b1cf9b2d8166.jpg?v=1790058098","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-16x20x1pcp-6-carbon-pleated-filter-merv-8-6-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
