Hi Shel,
I use a modified form of this type rinse. I use a fairly large six-reel
tank. I allow it to fill, dump it, refill it, dump it, etc. for quite a
few cycles. Then I let the water run for about four minutes. Finally, I
repeat a refill, dump cycle of another few minutes. (Prior to rinse, I
use hypo eliminator.) I went to this refill, dump process because I
seemed to be getting some mineral deposits from the water on my film
during the winter months. It seems to have solved that problem, and the
film looks good.
