Anyone have good pictures on a well mechanically working fly to rinse grain after mashing ? I use 10 gallon drinking water igloo coolers

There's no reason that the water needs to be sprayed or evenly trickled over the grain. I understand why people think it's beneficial but it would only be so if you ran the tun dryer than ideal. With an inch or two of sparge water over the top, the grain doesn't know how the water is coming in. You just don't want to drill the water down through. If you did, you'd be sparging too fast anyway.
