Hi everyone,
After living and developing in California for 15 years, we are moving to Chester County, Pennsylvania. I've been very pleased with my developing for about the last 5 years and all of my developing protocols have evolved using the same city water for fix and washing (I use distilled water to mix developer). We're in the process of purchasing a home with well water, an issue I've never dealt with before. I know that sediment and some minerals in well water can be decreased with filters, reverse osmosis systems, and water softening. My specific question is: Before we purchase a home is there anything I should be testing for in well water that is not reasonably fixed and that would prevent me from using it for washing in the darkroom? As you may have surmised, I am very picky about my developing and since we are in the process of selecting a home I still have some ability to avoid serious well water problems. Thanks, Tim
