Abstract: A large vault or tank for receiving the runoff water, having one or more small tanks in the large tank (vault). Each small tank is inverted and receives water, from the large tank, at its open lower end. The water entering the small tank rises, as the water level in the large tank rises, and flows upward through a filter. When the water level rises above the top of the filter it enters an outlet tube or pipe and downwardly passes along the center-line of the filter. A float, a valve and a check valve may cause the system to function as a siphon and feed the filtered clean water to an outlet. Alternately the siphoning effect will occur if the inside diameter of said outlet tube is small enough to form a partial vacuum.
