It all depends on whether you want one for your home or for a country, Duh! Actually, the costs are based upon amount of connections it will serve versus the amount of gallons per hour/day (usually in millions) that your service will require. As for the process involved in construction, it will all depend on your intended site plus any further recommendations from your engineers plus the overall costs of supplying materials & labor plus the necessary equipment required to facilitate producing the very first drop of potable water.

under 10 dollars for a very small solar powered one.

this is how it works.
dig a hole in the ground and line the hole with aluminum foil to make a "bowl".
make sure that the foil is tightly folded together at the seams so it won't leak.
put a cup in the center of the hole.
pour some salt water into the alluminum foil "bowl"
cover the hole in the ground with clear plastic film and place a small rock on the plastic over the cup.

the sunlight will evaporate the water and it will condence on the plastic. the condenced water will run to the low point under the rock and drip into the cup.

and you will have purified water.

note: this works also to purify water out of plant material or even urine as well if you are in a desperate situation. but no mater what
you will still have pureified water that is drinkable for survival.
