Hi, .. just thinking about getting into dip n dunk
I have serviced and maintained a pro labs dip n dunk in past life, ... but this is a different set-up to doing dip and dunk at home.
When answering these question, you might like to indicate how many 4x5 you are processing each run, .. and home many runs per week/month etc.
Specific questions:
1) Replenish, or one shot. .. In the pro lab the chemicals are continuously replenished, the through put is high and everyday, this works well. At home throughput is low, and not everyday, .. so do I cover with floating lid, inbetween uses and replenish before runs .. or throw away and start fresh each time.
- What length of time can chemicals sit covered unused - month?
- Should I be running control strips?
2) In pro lab, chemicals are pumped and temp controlled, at home it seems you might sit the tanks in a larger water bath, .. is this bath temp controlled, .. or rely on fact the larger body of mass, will maintain chemical temp longer?
all replies appreciated
Thanks - Steve
