Nordic Pure 17x20x1CustomM10+C-12 Merv 10 Carbon Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 17x20x1CustomM10+C-12 is a custom-cut, MERV 10 pleated air filter with activated carbon, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Built from electrostatically charged synthetic media, it captures over 85% of airborne particles in the 3-10 micron range, including lint, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and baking flour. The added carbon layer addresses common household odors. Each filter measures an actual 16.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches and ships in a 12-pack, making it suited for scheduled maintenance programs where bulk stocking is standard practice. A reinforced 2-part frame adds structural rigidity to support consistent airflow over the filter's service life.

This filter is intended for use in forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems where the nominal slot size is 17x20x1. It is well suited for residential environments with pets, allergy concerns, or cooking odors, and performs in light commercial settings with similar air quality demands. The MERV 10 rating balances particle capture efficiency with low airflow restriction, making it appropriate for most residential HVAC equipment without creating excessive static pressure. Nordic Pure manufactures this filter in the USA. Because this is a custom-made size, actual dimensions are 16.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches - slightly undersized relative to the nominal, which is standard for filter sizing.

Installation Notes

Filter installation should be performed by an HVAC technician or qualified service professional during routine preventive maintenance. Set the thermostat to off and disable system power at the air handler disconnect before removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30-90 days depending on environmental conditions such as pets, occupancy, and outdoor air quality.
