  1. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you Mal.
  2. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    A bit of an update. My apprentice Chris saw the new still and immediately pointed out hoe inefficient the condesnser section is. So at Home Depot yesterday I picked up 40 feet of 3/8 inch diameter...
  3. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you Jim:

    I wish I had known about RO before buying a still. I should have done this research first.
  4. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you Kevin
  5. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you
  6. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you Alan:

    I remember hearing about reverse osmosis filters used on submarines in the 1960's. I always thought they were expensive so never thought of them when it came time to ensure a good...
  7. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thanks Willie:

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. I am shooting 11x14 film at nearly $20 per shot. I am also building a photo vehicle with platform that I am into $15K so far, It is...

    Hi Peter:

    Yes, calcium is my main issue as well. At least I think it is, sort of a poop brown hard material also some white stuff I think may be magnesium.

  10. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Hello revdoc:

    I have two dehumidifiers, I have looked seriously at the condensate from them, they both have very dirty tanks, I would not put that on my prints.
  11. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Hey Tundra:

    Well, it is 70 miles to town and back. That cost has to be added in too, and my still was less than $200.
  12. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you diversey:

    Yes, I was shocked that the cheapest distilled water I could find was $2.39 per gallon. Also, that is a 70 mile round trip for me. It made sense to buy a still for under $200....

    Thank you Jason:
  14. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Hi Vaughn:

    I do not know about the water that comes from a dehumidifier. I know it says don't drink it on either of my dehumidifiers. So if I cannot drink it, I do not know how consistent it is,...
  15. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    I am pursuing some intense Zone work and need extremely consistent chemistry. I use a Big Berkety for our drinking water also. Thanks for your response.
  16. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thanks Tundra, that is exactly why I wanted to use distilled, and making my own rather than buying it is pretty much how I try to live if possible.
  17. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Missouri is very interested in having free citizens. It is one of the major reasons why I moved here a couple years back.
  18. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Thank you Paul, I did not know that was an option. I will look into RO. Why would that be better than distilling?
  19. Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

    Hello Friends:

    I recently completed construction of my fifth darkroom after moving everything we own from Near Seattle to South of St. Louis. Here we have well water which is pretty heavy in...
  20. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    This thread is now closed. I will not be responding to it any longer.

    Thank you everyone, I hope some darkroom builder got something out of this.

  21. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    OK, looks like all the votes are in. Each of us should buy a Beseler CB-7 just in case we end up in a wheelchair. Thanks Tin Can, I think you were the only one with considerations for the readership....
  22. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Wow! a screamin deal for sure. Anybody else have one of these for sale? I don't shoot 5x7 but would love to have one just for looking at.
  23. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    A long long time ago I bought a pallet of Leitz Tiltall Professional tripods from the University of WA. I think there were 40 of them on the pallet, all black, all beat to death. There are still 2 of...
  24. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Wow, what an incredible enlarger.

    Not much info online about the Beseler 5x7.
  25. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    I will look him up
  26. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Hello Tin Can:

    Yes, that is a consideration. I have been in a wheelchair once for a few months. It makes everything more difficult. Why is the CB-7 better for wheelchair users? I mean all of the...
  27. Re: What is the best grain focusing loupe (for under the enlarger) ever made by man?

    I have 2 Omega Micromega Grain focusers. I replaced the mirrors on them (Make sure you use first surface mirror if you do replace the mirror. You can find awesome huge chunks of first surface mirrors...
  28. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Nice website Reinhold. That picture of you on the front looks very much like Edward Weston with his Kodak 2D.

  29. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Hi John:
    Thanks for the response. This lab was set up to be one side during the design stage months ago. So yeah, it makes sense. The lab was set up around the dimensions of the sink and dry bench....
  30. Re: A Darkroom in the Sticks - Rural Environmental Technologies

    Hey Ed:

    I recently moved to the middle of a 1.5 million acre National Forest. You can see my darkroom in a post here "Starting the darkroom build. What to consider". I do not personally use cesium...
  31. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Okie Dokie:

    Now to the reason for this thread. I thought perhaps some of our members may have been considering building a lab in their homes and don't know what is important and what isn't. Thus...
  32. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Hey Tin Can:

    I also only process B+W and have stopped using battery acid and Thalidomide in my processing. But it still gets damned hot in Summer and cold in winter. The venting above the sink is...
  33. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Hello John:

    The lab is 5 1/2 feet wide and 24 1/2 feet long (1.67m x 7.5,m). It is for one person. I rarely have visitors.
    Thanks for the question.

  34. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    I look at a lot of darkroom builds online. Many people just start building and get what they end up with. With this build, my last one, I tried to plan rather than just build.240888240889
  35. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    Finally got three images to upload. First shows the 2x2 I screwed all around the room where I wanted the ce3iling panels to sit on. The second pic shows the back of one of the ceiling panels. The...
  36. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    I am trying to straighten it out now because I will be offline for a week.

    Thanks Philip
  37. Re: Starting the darkroom build. What to consider

    A ha!!! OK, I will dump some images and try again. Can you drag and drop images into lfpf? OK, I have deleted all but 2 of the 200 messages allowed. I only had 71 messages so should not have been up...
