Hi, I've never tried the J&C labeled films, but have used Formapan and Bergger (which I understand are similar). I only use water stop when I've run out of regular acidic stop bath - which is, essentially, never <LOL> Never had a problem with acidic stop bath, however, I use it diluted a little more than called for and as a one-shot. I forget the proportions now (5 or 10 cc to 15oz water, perhaps), and I use a graduated hypodermic syringe to add the stop to the water.
