Basically, the developer froths up and when I remove the lid of my tank, the froth spills everywhere. Whilst I'm not too bothered about this, I am concerned that the froth may affect the way the developer is agitated or worse, cause uneven development of my films. I guess that the problem is caused by a build up of wetting agent on spirals or in the tanks. I live in a hard water area and I use literally no more than 1-2 drops of wetting agent (Ilford Ilfotol) in 1500ml of water. I do rinse my tanks/spirals in very hot water after each session. Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can make sure any residues are removed from my kit and also how to stop the problem from recurring.
