Wes Watkins Agricultural Research and Extension Center
in Lane, Oklahoma put together one of those inexpensive
barrel sand filters. They published an article in HortTechnology
with a diagram and specs.
Roberts, B.W. and C.W. O'Hern. 1993. Inexpensive sand filters for
drip irrigation systems. HortTechnology 3(1): 85-89.

ECHO - Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization - put
out a a little leaflet on a sand filter to make drinking water, using
two 5-gallon buckets.

No web links on these.
ATTRA can provide printed resources on inexpensive sand filters
for drip irrigation systems by regular mail, on request.
