    Looking for cheap way to wash prints without ruining septic tank

    ...are only two sinks in my house and neither of those rooms are candidates for even temporary darkroom operations. Additionally, I'm on a septic tank-and-field far outside the city, so I am very wary of putting even residual chemicals down my drain--I am mortally terrified of my septic tank...

    Darn Septic Tanks!

    ...Because the empty gallon containers are what I am going to be storing 10-20 gallons a month of spent B&W darkroom chemistry in being on a septic tank. I have spent over 3 months trying to figure this out and taking it to the local Household Waste drop-off is the only way. And at $7.5 per...

    Chemicals and septic tank

    ...the fixer, after I pour the used stuff back in the bottle is it alright to let the little amount still on the film rinse down the drain? I'm going to pour the used developer into an empty water bottle and will discard the fixer properly as well. I have a septic tank so that's why I'm worried.

    Septic Tank and Developing Chemicals?

    Here's an off the wall question I've not seen anywhere: Will common darkroom chemicals hurt the happy little microbes that do the unseen dirty work in my septic tank? Not everybody that does home developing lives in town... :)

    Printing on a septic system

    I have what may be an odd problem: a septic tank. They don't like significant loads of chemicals or heavy metals; not only will whatever goes in the septic tank eventually leach into the yard (causing triffids to grow or whatever), but enough of a load can actually kill the biological cycle in...

    Septic and Water Softener

    I am thinking about setting a home darkroom (maybe 3 or 4 rolls per weeK). First question is - I have a septic system and a well. How safe is pouring these chemicals into the septic tank? What about into the water table. Second, I have a water softener system that uses rock salt and...

    B&W chemistry and septic systems?

    I am going to be moving to an area that doesn't have public utilities and will be putting a septic system in the home I will be building. Does anyone have any experience with septic systems and B&W chemistry? I will either be recovering the silver from the hypo or carrying it someplace to have...

    Disposing of chemicals away from a septic system

    I am moving to the country on a beautiful lake and the house has a septic system. I've never had a septic system and I've always dumped my chemicals in the city system but my new septic system cannot function with me simply dumping my chemicals down the drain. I'd kill it in a hurry. How do...

    darkroom drain/ septic system

    Hello all, After a 20 year hiatus I'm finally building a new darkroom at home. The problem I face now is that I live in a well/septic area - no city services for water or sewer. I know that fixer is a no-no for the septic system, and that developer isn't exactly friendly to the local...

    Dichromate and septic systems

    I have been getting the alt process bug lately, but have some concerns about chrome going down the drain in rinse water, particularly with gum printing, which i really want to try. Im not so concerned about a drop of 1% soloution for contrast increase in sensitiser with other processes. Im sure...

    Darkroom and Septic system question

    I am moving in a week or so, and will be on a septic system for the first time. What are the do's and don't of disposal with it, and more specifically with darkroom waste. I do have a silver recovery system, but I am worried about spent developer, both film, and paper. Patrick
