The invention relates to a gravity filter comprising a housing (1), a cavity (3) with a base in the form of a cone, an inlet for a liquid to be cleaned, with tubes (4, 5, 6) for discharging the cleaned and cleaning liquid, a filtering medium (7) placed in the housing (1), a structurally combined unit, fixed along the vertical axis of the housing (1), which in turn contains an airlift (8) with an air tank (10) that is configured in communication with a compressed air source, a cleaning element (9), which preferably comprises two parts, and which is fixed over the airlift (8), wherein the cleaning element (9) has one compartment with a zigzag channel (14), and wherein the cleaning element (9) has, especially concentrically located, compartments (15, 16), the internal and the external ones, and a tube (4, 5, 6) for cleaning liquid drainage, in communication with the latter; furthermore, the filter has distribution units (12, 11) for liquid and for the filtering medium. The filter is characterized in that it is further equipped with a vibration aerator (20), which is inserted or configured to be inserted into the zigzag channel (14) of the cleaning element (9), especially of its lower part (13) of the structurally combined unit, and/or with a means for pressure and speed reducing of the upward flow of the cleaning liquid in the internal compartment of the cleaning unit, especially its upper part, and/or with a means for providing the airlift (8) vibration.
