Abstract

Systems, apparatus and methods are described that can be used for cleaning wells using unfiltered fluids and fluids that contain solid matter. Spray nozzles cooperate with deflectors to direct and outflow of the apparatus to surfaces to be cleaned. The apparatus comprises a mixer having an inner chamber, an inlet and a plurality of outlets. Deflectors are attached to associated outlets. The inner chamber has an impact surface located opposite the inlet, the impact surface redirecting the flow of fluid proportionately to the outlets and minimizes eddies in the flow of fluid. The deflectors generate a force from the fluid flow that includes rotational and/or translational components sufficient to cause rotation about a first axis and/or translation along a second axis.
