Nordic Pure 20x30x1PM12C-6 Merv 12 Plus Carbon Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x30x1PM12C-6 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 6-pack. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 12-rated filtration media with a carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while increasing surface area by 33 percent. This design captures airborne particulates and simultaneously adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter is built on a moisture-resistant beverage board frame with a bonded metal mesh support grid. Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet for fine particles. Antimicrobial treatment prevents bacterial and mold growth within the filter media. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced HVAC service professionals are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems where both high particulate filtration and odor control are required. Nominal size is 20x30x1 inches with an actual size of 19.63 x 29.63 x 0.75 inches. It targets lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, allergens, bacteria, and VOC odors. It is particularly appropriate for households with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or anyone who needs filtration performance equivalent to an MPR rating of 1500 to 1900. Recommended replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions.

Key Features

• MERV 12 filtration rating captures fine dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, and virus carriers
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs without significantly restricting airflow
• 33 percent more surface area compared to non-carbon pleated designs for extended filter life and lower pressure drop
• Permanently electrostatically charged media attracts and holds fine particulates
• Antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh pleat support grid
• Made in the USA; MERV 12 performance equivalent to MPR 1500-1900

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 20x30x1 nominal-size filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Actual installed dimensions are 19.63 x 29.63 x 0.75 inches - verify your filter slot's actual opening before ordering.

Installation Notes

Shut down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect or breaker before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame are oriented toward the blower, not toward the return duct. Filters in high-dust or high-odor environments may require replacement more frequently than the standard 30-to-90-day interval. Dispose of used filters per local waste guidelines, as activated carbon filters retain captured contaminants.
