Which type of filter is designed to remove particles that are 10 microns in size or larger?

The correct choice is a multimedia filter, which is specifically engineered to remove larger particles, such as those sized 10 microns or larger. Multimedia filters utilize different layers of filtration media, typically comprised of various materials such as sand, gravel, and sometimes activated carbon, to effectively capture and filter out suspended solids and turbidity. The multi-layer approach allows for a more efficient removal process of larger particles, providing improved water clarity and quality.

In contrast, while carbon filters and chemical filters focus on removing contaminants through adsorption and chemical processes, they are not primarily designed to target larger particulates. Similarly, while sediment filters can also remove particles, they are more commonly engineered for finer filtration and may not have the same versatile layer composition as a multimedia filter to handle a broader range of particle sizes effectively.
