Developed E6 Green cast

Hello everyone, yesterday I developed an 35 Kodak ektachrome roll using the Arista E6 kit. I mixed the kit using the recommended temperature before development. The film development happened with my Jobo CPP at 85F. I followed the Arista guide steps at 85F. The only thing I didn't do is filling the tank 7 times with water after the first developer, color developer. Instead, I washed it for 2.5 minutes at 85F (similar to what I used to do with the Tetenal kit). After I'm done, I found that the film has green cast on it overall and the shots are kind of faded. Any idea what went wrong? By the way, I mixed the solutions with tap water so I'm not sure if pH may cause this cast.
Also, I used tap water before for E6 development (Tetenal kit) and it turned out fine.

Thank you

Amellice, you should try processing a fresh roll of film !
That's an ancient roll of Ektachrome 100 Plus you've got there, which I'd expect to come out light and green ( or pretty much any other colour ).

nice, I thought I shot a fresh roll, but sure enough, I checked the trash and found the canister to be an old roll that I got long time ago. thanks

Color is typically performed at 100F but some claim you can get reasonable development at different temps. I would run it at 100 to avoid possible confounders with temperature.

Probably you had chemical fogging of the film. This would result in too much base development during the B&W dev step. I've noticed weird base color shifts on old color negative film too.
