It is designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The dual-layer construction fuses a MERV 12-rated filtration medium with activated carbon, reducing flow restriction while increasing effective surface area by approximately 33 percent. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance cycles. It ships as a 6-pack, making it well-suited for scheduled filter change programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is appropriate for residential forced-air systems where both particulate filtration and odor control are priorities. It captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, bacteria, and allergens. The activated carbon layer attracts and holds odorous gases, vapors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is a strong choice for homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions, with more frequent changes advised during home renovations or periods of heavy particulate activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERV 12 rated filtration captures fine particulates including mold spores, pet dander, and virus carriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivated carbon layer controls odors and traps VOCs without significantly restricting airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrostatically charged media acts as a passive magnet for airborne dust and particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA; equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 rated filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for standard 1-inch slot filter housings in residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems with a nominal 18x18x1 inch filter opening.

Always shut off the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing any filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Filters installed in high-humidity environments should be inspected more frequently, as moisture can accelerate media loading and reduce effective service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pleated Plus Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 x 18 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.75 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\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\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrostatically charged, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic pleated media with activated carbon layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent MPR Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500-1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 18x18x1PM12C-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51997996908850,"sku":"18x18x1PM12C-6","price":80.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/40183279e2f4016dccc996e0811481b0_b8b7abb7-46d1-4073-ad37-8ddc18879831.jpg?v=1789994523","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-18x18x1pm12c-6-merv-12-carbon-air-filter-6-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
