On trouve dans le Dictionnaire de l'eau (OLFEB), 1978, p. 114 l'expression "filtre lent à sable", mais il vaut mieux ne pas l'employer, parce qu'elle est mal construite. Le Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada (DADIF), 1967, p. 18 nous en donne la raison dans son article sur la place de l'adjectif en précisant que «Le français définit avant de qualifier». 2, record 2, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20sable%20lent
