The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, designed to capture airborne particles and neutralize odors from pets, smoke, cooking, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The nominal size is 18x30x1 inches with an actual size of 17.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches. A metal mesh support grid is bonded to the pleats for structural integrity. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter in residential or light commercial forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter suits residential applications in homes and apartments where odor control is the primary concern alongside standard particulate filtration. It also functions as a pre-filter in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units handling strong odors. The pleated carbon design delivers approximately three times the carbon media surface area compared to a flat carbon filter, supporting better odor absorption without significantly restricting airflow. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days for maximum odor control performance, and more frequently during home improvement projects that generate dust or chemical fumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-woven polyester media infused with naturally derived charcoal for odor neutralization\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproximately MERV 8 efficiency  -  captures pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and other common airborne particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePleated design provides roughly three times the carbon media surface area of a flat carbon filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh pleat support grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTargets VOCs from household cleaning products and strong odors from pets, smoke, garbage, and cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement carbon pleated filter for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems accepting a nominal 18x30x1-inch filter. Verify fit using the actual size of 17.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual filter dimensions frequently differ across equipment brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Measure the existing filter slot or old filter for exact dimensions before ordering, as nominal sizes are not always a reliable fit indicator. Replace every 30 to 90 days under normal conditions, or more frequently in high-odor or high-dust environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pure Carbon Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Approximately MERV 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 x 30 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport Grid\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal mesh bonded to pleats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 x 31 x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 18x30x1PCP-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52115425100082,"sku":"18x30x1PCP-2","price":39.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f979d93fadc7df5774fb1f5500cee5e4_ca67172c-1598-4482-b0ff-91ec06b5067f.jpg?v=1790079824","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-18x30x1pcp-2-carbon-pleated-air-filter-2-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
