The invention mainly discloses an urban rainwater purification method and a hydraulic jump type filter used therein. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the urban rainwater purification method comprises the following steps: collecting rainwater, detecting the rainwater, carrying out sedimentation treatment, carrying out pH value treatment, carrying out aeration treatment, carrying out biological purification, carrying out fine filtration, and storing. The used hydraulic pump type filter comprises a first filter cartridge and a second filter cartridge, a detection cavity is arranged at a water outlet, only after water body is detected to be in line with urban water consumption requirements by virtue of a detection head, the water body is conveyed into a water storage tank, otherwise the water body is conveyed into the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge to be filtered again. The urban rainwater purification method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the rainwater is collected and purified, collection, permeation, purification and utilization of the rainwater in an urban range are realized to the utmost extent under the premise of guaranteeing waterlogging prevention and safety of a city, urban waterlogging stress can be effectively alleviated and reduced, purification efficiency is high, water quality of the treated rainwater is effectively improved, utilization of a rainwater resource is promoted, and sponge urban construction requirements are met.
