Nordic Pure16x25x1 MERV 8 Pleated AC Furnace Air Filters 6 Pack

Not real durable, but good value for the price you pay. Would recommend changing it out every month. Overall works as advertised

Don't know enough about furnace filters to say much except that my research suggests a filter that's not too dense is better for the furnace than one that forces the furnace to push air too hard. So I switched from high density Filtrete to Nordic Pure and all seems to be good.

The MERV factor was what I was looking for in this particular filter. I’d tried out another brand, with a MERV factor of 13, but am equally satisfied with the Nordic Pure brand. I’d read a lot of reviews on a variety of filters and these appeared to be reliable and effective. I decided to try them out to see for myself just how good they were. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, something that tells me exactly how efficient a filter is. We’d been using some inexpensive ones much lower MERV factor (some as low as 6), but because of the dust in this house I wanted something even more efficient.The Nordic Pure are MERV 12, one number short of the highest MERV that a household would use. Anything higher usually is used in an industrial or hospital setting. I want to eliminate as many allergens as I can from our duct system. Dirt, pollen, allergens, dust, and on and on. The usual recommend on replacing a filter is two or three months, but the Nordic Pure, as did the other ones I used, are pulling out so much from my furnace system, I decided I’ll change them out once a month. It’s a small price to pay for keeping a healthy household.I was surprised (or maybe I wasn’t) at just how much both brands of filters I used pulled out in a single month. I simply checked out the size of the filters we were already using (a must) and took a chance on ordering. Needless to say, I’m really pleased with the quality and the function of the Nordic filters. At around six dollars a month, if I so choose to swap them out, it’s a bargain. I do have a lot of allergies, but since I’ve been using a filter with a higher MERV factor, I haven’t had as many issues.

Fit well. Durable. Work as expected. Competitive pricing. Recommend

Good price for a good filter. Just the right amount of filtration vs. low air flow resistance.

It wasn't easy finding the proper MERV rating filter for our new Two Stage Bryant AC/Furnace (recommended MERV 6 to 7). With COVID and wildfire smoke, like so many, I thought installing a filter with a higher MERV rating (MERV 11+/1085 filter) was the way to go. However, I learned that although the higher rated MERV filters are better at filtering contaminants they also reduce the airflow to the AC/Furnace which puts a strain on the unit. This became clear each time our unit turned on, the MERV 11 filter would make a popping noise due to the reduced airflow and increased suction moving through the air return. As a result, the furnace had to work much harder to get the air it needed to operate. When I remove the filter, it was actually bent from the added suction. During my research I learned that this added strain on our unit would ultimately reduce its longevity. So, I tested out several filters and found that the Nordic Pure MERV 8 was the highest MERV rated filter our system could handle safely. For air filtration of contaminants and particles 1.0-3.0 microns, I purchased a portable LEVOIT (LV-PUR131) Air Purifier for our home.

Perfect fit, very good economical filter replacement. Good balance between filtering and air flow.

Great filters at a reasonable price!

A high quantity furnace filter. I wouldn’t push these to the 3-month change interval limit though as they are a tight filter and the charcoal doesn’t last that long for odour reduction. I change my filters monthly but I am a bit obsessive - two months would be ok I’m sure.

as advertised

Thought I'd try this out. Very good quality filters. The carbon is very well engineered into it, doesn't powder out like cheap ones. No odor and air feels cleaner. Definitely buy these again.

Did not get my problem solved

The product is well made and does its job. Recommended.
