DIY splash rinsing station

[formernuke]

So just for fun I'm doing a soak station. The station is 10 gallon tote partially filled with water.

As part of the soak I'm thinking of setting up a splash rinse with shelf, so of course how do I set up the splash part.

I want to pump the water to the shelf and have rinse the gear on the self. So how do I build a system that will splash the the water on the shelf without it spraying everywhere?

Small fish tank or pond pump? Have it cascade down and be spread across the shelf with some sort of drip head

Exactly, but how do I make the cascade or drip head?

Shower nozzle?

To big, hence DIY

I used to dunk, now I just hose off and hang to dry.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

Dunk in a 10 gallon tote and rinse with fresh water on a shelf? What are you trying to clean?

10 gallons is about the size of a kitchen sink.

1/16" drill bit
14 - 16" of 1/2" pvc
Cap the end of the pvc on one end, drill a couple rows of holes along the length, bend pvc with a torch or use a 90° elbow to go vertical in ref to the holes, attach pump to upturned pipe. Instant drip rail. Adjust pressure and volume out by adding more holes

A spray bar like Boarder guy suggested would work, but I'd put a valve on it to control flow unless you get a variable speed pump.

I'm still trying to understand the purpose here.

I didn't include a ball valve because I was going for cheap.

You could also set up a reservoir that the pump fills and have it cascade like an infinity pool onto your gear.
