Nordic Pure 18x25x1PM8C-12 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x25x1PM8C-12 is a dual-layer pleated air filter combining a MERV 8 electrostatic filter media with a fused activated carbon layer. Nominal size is 18x25x1 inches with an actual size of 17.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches. This design delivers 33 percent more surface area than standard pleated filters while reducing flow restriction. The carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including pet smells, cooking odors, and smoke, while the electrostatically charged pleated media captures airborne particulates. Licensed HVAC technicians and HVAC-savvy homeowners install this filter in residential forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is suited for residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. The 12-pack format supports scheduled filter rotation programs, making it practical for service contractors maintaining multiple residential accounts or homeowners following a 30-to-90-day replacement interval. The MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for systems that can accept mid-efficiency filtration without airflow penalty. It is equivalent to filters rated MPR 800.

Key Features

• Dual-layer construction fuses MERV 8 pleated media with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Permanently electrostatically charged media attracts and holds dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander
• Antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Equivalent to MPR 800 rated filters
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential forced-air furnace and air handler filter slots accepting a nominal 18x25x1 inch filter. Verify actual slot dimensions against the actual size of 17.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ on nearly all residential air filters.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it to match the direction of airflow into the blower. Replace this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on household conditions such as pets, renovation activity, or high dust environments. Measure the actual filter slot opening before ordering to confirm fit, as nominal sizes are not exact dimensions.
