Nordic Pure 20x30x1PM8C-2 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 2pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x30x1PM8C-2 is a MERV 8 pleated furnace air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 8-rated filter media with an activated carbon layer, delivering 33% more surface area than single-layer designs and reduced airflow restriction. The activated carbon attracts and holds odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while the electrostatically charged pleated media captures airborne particulates. The filter frame is a heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board with a bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity. This two-pack is installed by homeowners, property managers, and HVAC technicians during routine maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. It is an effective choice in homes with pets, cooking odors, or occupants sensitive to airborne allergens. The antimicrobial filter media inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold within the filter itself. The nominal size is 20x30x1, with an actual size of 19.63 x 29.63 x 0.75 inches. NORDIC PURE rates this filter as equivalent to MPR 800. This pack contains two filters, making it practical for stocking a single replacement cycle or maintaining two separate units.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 20x30x1 nominal furnace filter slots in residential forced-air heating and cooling systems. Verify fit using the actual size of 19.63 x 29.63 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual dimensions differ across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation is a standard filter-change task performed by HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners. Always power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before opening the filter compartment. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and align it toward the blower. NORDIC PURE recommends changing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system run time.
