1. A spray head assembly for mounting in a pumping station, comprising:

  • a hydrodynamic mixing chamber configured to create turbulence in a fluid received from a pump, the pump drawing a fluid from a well of the pumping station and providing a pressurized stream of the fluid to a pipe;

    a nozzle associated with an outlet of the mixing chamber, the nozzle receiving the mixed fluid from the hydrodynamic mixing chamber and dispersing the mixed fluid to the surface of a body of the fluid in the well, wherein the nozzle provides a spray of the mixed fluid; and

    one or more deflectors, each deflector receiving the spray from a corresponding nozzle, wherein each deflector directs a fluid received from its associated outlet to a surface within the well,wherein the mixing chamber causes solids in the fluid received from the pump to impact a wall of the mixing chamber, thereby reducing the size of solids in the body of fluid.
