Nordic Pure 18x24x4PM10C-1 Merv 10 Carbon Air Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x24x4PM10C-1 is a MERV 10 pleated plus carbon air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems. It uses a dual-layer construction that fuses a MERV 10 rated filtration media with an activated carbon layer, delivering both particulate capture and odor control in a single filter. The actual size is 17.5 x 23.38 x 3.63 inches, fitting nominal 18x24x4 filter slots. Permanently electrostatically charged media attracts and holds airborne particles, while the activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The frame is constructed from moisture-resistant beverage board with a bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity. Licensed HVAC technicians and property maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where both particulate filtration and odor reduction are required. It is well suited for households with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies or chemical sensitivities. The MERV 10 rating makes it effective against fine dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, dust mites, lint, smoke particles, virus carriers, bacteria, and other common indoor air contaminants. It is rated equivalent to MPR 1000. The 3.63-inch depth provides 33% more surface area compared to standard-depth pleated filters, reducing airflow restriction while maintaining high filtration efficiency.

Key Features

• MERV 10 filtration captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and bacteria
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs without significantly restricting airflow
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particle magnet for enhanced capture efficiency
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support grid
• Made in the USA; equivalent to MPR 1000 rated filters

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for nominal 18x24x4 filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Actual installed size is 17.5 x 23.38 x 3.63 inches. Verify the actual filter opening dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Air filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified property maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the system before seating the filter. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions, with more frequent changes recommended during renovation work or high-use periods.
