When improving indoor air quality, knowing what your filter can actually capture is crucial. In this review, I break down the capabilities of a MERV 12 air filter using my experience with the Nordic Pure 20x25x1 Pleated MERV 12 Air Filters.
What a MERV 12 Filter Can Capture
A MERV 12 filter rating filters out just about everything that you want it to filter out, like pollen, pet dander, dust, dust particles, all those things, everything but cough and sickness and smog.
These filters are designed to handle common indoor air contaminants while maintaining adequate airflow for most home HVAC systems.
- Captures pollen effectively
- Filters out pet dander
- Traps dust and dust particles
Why I Choose the Nordic Pure 20x25x1 Pleated MERV 12
I've been using the Nordic Pure 20x25x1 Pleated MERV 12 for quite a while, and they perform as expected for a MERV 12 rating.
They still let a decent amount of air go through and are not super constrictive on airflow. They're lightweight and easy to change.
The 12-pack format makes it convenient to keep replacements on hand.
- Maintain good airflow
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Sold in a convenient 12-pack
Sizing Considerations
The actual dimensions of these filters are a little bit shy of the 20 by 25 dimension. The actual dimensions are 19 3/8 by 24 3/4.
For this reason, it's important to double check your current filter size before purchasing. Ordering 12 of the wrong size can be wasteful.
The Nordic Pure 20x25x1 Pleated MERV 12 provides clear labeling of actual dimensions on the packaging.
- Actual dimensions: 19 3/8 x 24 3/4
- Verify your current filter size before ordering
- Clear dimension labeling on packaging
Who this is for
When selecting a MERV 12 air filter, confirm your HVAC system's required dimensions before purchasing. The Nordic Pure 20x25x1 Pleated MERV 12 offers reliable filtration for common indoor contaminants while maintaining good airflow, but always double-check your current filter size to ensure proper fit.
