Nordic Pure 20x25x2PM8C-3 Merv 8 Plus Carbon Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x25x2PM8C-3 is a MERV 8 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 3-pack, sized nominally at 20x25x2 inches with an actual size of 19.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches. The filter uses a dual-layer construction that fuses MERV 8-rated filter media with an activated carbon layer. This design reduces flow restriction while increasing surface area by 33 percent compared to single-layer alternatives. The activated carbon captures odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the pleated media traps airborne particulates including dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and bacteria. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals install these as direct replacements in standard residential and light commercial filter housings.

This filter is appropriate for residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems that accept a 20x25x2 inch nominal filter. It is particularly well suited for installations where odor control is a priority alongside particulate filtration, such as homes with pets or active cooking environments. The filter media is permanently electrostatically charged to attract and hold particulate matter with each air pass. NORDIC PURE recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor conditions and activity level, and more frequently during renovation or home improvement projects that generate elevated dust loads.

Key Features

• MERV 8 dual-layer media fused with activated carbon for simultaneous particulate and odor control
• 33 percent more surface area versus single-layer construction, reducing static pressure drop
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particulate magnet for improved capture efficiency
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Made in the USA; MERV 8 rating is equivalent to MPR 800

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard residential and light commercial HVAC systems that accept a 20x25x2 inch nominal filter. Verify fitment against the actual filter slot dimensions before installation; the actual size of this filter is 19.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction and install the filter with the arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Measure the actual filter slot dimensions and compare to the actual filter size, not the nominal size, to ensure a proper seal and prevent bypass air.
