I've never worked in these conditions. We're drawing from our own well,
probably high calcium & iron in water. I mix my own developers, but have a
great source of distilled H20. (Run off from the dehumidifier.) My main
concern is with washing & the fixer. I got hold of some old style calgon.
How much would I mix in? I plan to wash negs in the ion filtered well water
with a final soak in the pure H2O plus wetting agent.
I haven't tried any of this yet, but soon ....
Comments? Ideas?
