Nordic Pure 20x24x1PM10C-2 Pleated Carbon Filter Merv 10

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x24x1PM10C-2 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 2-pack. It is designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The dual-layer media fuses MERV 10 filtration material with activated carbon, reducing flow restriction while increasing surface area by 33 percent compared to single-layer designs. The activated carbon captures odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the pleated media traps airborne particulates. Permanently electrostatically charged fibers act as a magnet to improve dust capture efficiency. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine maintenance item.

This filter is suited for residential homes, apartments, and small commercial spaces where both particulate filtration and odor control are priorities. It is especially appropriate in environments with pets, smokers, or ongoing indoor renovations where dust loads and odor levels are elevated. The filter captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, bacteria, and allergens. NORDIC PURE rates the MERV 10 performance of this filter as equivalent to MPR 1000, making it a direct comparison point for those familiar with that rating scale.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems that accept a 20x24x1 nominal filter size. Actual dimensions are 19.5 x 23.44 x 0.75 inches; always verify the actual slot dimensions of the filter cabinet before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down the HVAC system at the thermostat or disconnect before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed 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, occupancy, and pet or renovation activity. More frequent changes may be needed in high-dust environments to maintain rated airflow and filtration efficiency.
