I'm in the process of putting together a darkroom in my bathroom for making 11x14 enlargements from 35mm negs and some contact prints from big negs. I've been reading through a bunch of threads on this. I have an enlarger on the way, plan to put it on cart and have found a fish cleaning sink that will fit perfectly next to my shower and fit 3 11x14 trays. The sink has a hose that I think I can run into the toilet for a drain. This is my only bathroom so I'll be breaking it down when not in use and will still need to have access to the toilet, sink, and shower when I leave the darkroom set up for a few days at a time.
My question involves water/hose. It could be possible to screw a long hose onto my bathroom sink spigot and run it the 6-8 feet horizontally across the space to provide water in the fish cleaning sink. However it seems like it's asking for a big spill. Could it be possible/a good idea to to try split or tap into the cold water line that runs from the wall into the back of the toilet? I'm not planning to process film so Temp control is not an issue. Not worried about water filter either. Just wondering if I could split that line and run it up the 2 feet vertically into the sink without messing up the pressure/integrity of that water line. (i'm also a renter so trying not make any huge alterations)
