You also need to choose your construction materials with care due to the high pressure created by so much water.

Whatever you choose to do, there is no better way to proceed than first reading Martin Read of Silverprint's exhaustive investigation of the washing process:

Personally, unless you particularly like undertaking DIY projects and, having read Martin's article, are willing to go through several versions, I would not bother making one but rather buy a Silverprint Archival Washer.

I have had mine for many years and a completely satisfied with an expensive but thoroughly worthwhile investment. I just put it on, check the flow rate and leave the washer to do it's job.

Best,

Thank you for the pointer I will read Martins articale. I understand that the width is not critcal but there need to be a starting point.
