A storage vessel with a calmed inlet and overflow facility, that is intended for the storage of rainwater in a rainwater harvesting system, and which may include (if present) a submersible electrical pump and/or an integrated filter. This must be a rainwater filter intended for the removal of organic matter (e.g. leaves and debris), via filtration (mesh size <1.25mm), from rainwater collected prior to storage in a rainwater harvesting system.
