Nordic Pure 18x18x1M7+C-2 Merv 7 Plus Carbon Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x18x1M7+C-2 is a MERV 7 pleated air filter with activated carbon, sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The filter media combines electrostatically charged synthetic fibers with a flat activated carbon panel. The electrostatic charge attracts and captures airborne particulates, while the activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The nominal size is 18x18x1 inches, with an actual size of 17.75 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement in forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems where occupants want both particle capture and odor control in a single filter. Typical applications include homes with pets, smokers, or renovation activity where dust loads and odor-generating compounds are elevated. The MERV 7 rating means the filter captures a significant portion of particles in the 3-to-10 micron range, including lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander. The activated carbon component targets smoke particles and VOC vapors that pass through standard pleated media. Nordic Pure rates this filter as equivalent to the MPR 600 category. The 2-pack format supports a standard 60-to-90-day replacement cycle without requiring a separate reorder between changes.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems with a 18x18x1 inch nominal filter opening. Actual size is 17.75 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches; verify the filter slot dimensions before ordering, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified DIYers. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter so the arrow points toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system runtime; high-dust environments or homes with pets may require the shorter interval.
