Jobo Cascade Washer

[thmk]

Hi,
is there anybody using this small piece of equipment to wash the films after fixing them? I'd like to know how long do you wash the films using it. Does it really save time and water? I've read somewhere that 9 minutes washing are enough.

I prefer the 'Ilford method': fill the tank with water, do 10 inversions, empty, fill again, 20 inversions, dump, fill, 30 inversions; saves a lot of water, and does not take very long; there should be more info on the Ilford homepage.

Sounds good, I will take a look

I have the cascade for one month now and 5 minutes washing seems to be enough.

Up to now, my negatives look good
