Nordic Pure 8x20x1PM10C-3 Pleated Carbon Filter Merv 10

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1PM10C-3 is a MERV 10 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 3-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter uses a dual-layer construction where MERV 10-rated filtration media is fused with an activated carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while increasing surface area by 33 percent compared to single-layer designs. The activated carbon component attracts and holds odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOC), while the electrostatically charged pleated media captures airborne particulates. The nominal size is 8x20x1, with an actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced DIYers install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where both particulate removal and odor control are priorities. It is well-matched for homes with pets, smokers, or occupants sensitive to allergens. The MERV 10 rating targets lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and bacteria. NORDIC PURE rates this filter as equivalent to MPR 1000 filters. The 3-pack format supports a standard 30-to-90-day replacement schedule, making it practical to stock multiple filters at once for ongoing maintenance cycles.

Key Features

• Dual-layer media: MERV 10 pleated material fused with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to attract and hold airborne dust and particulates
• Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial filter media inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold on the filter surface
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with a metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats for structural integrity
• Equivalent to MPR 1000 filters; outperforms fiberglass, washable, and poly disposable filter types
• Made in the USA; sold as a 3-pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central HVAC systems that accept a nominal 8x20x1 inch filter. Verify the actual opening size against the actual filter dimensions of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance personnel. Always shut down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect switch or breaker before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Replace every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions, occupancy, and system runtime.
