It is for the most part. Many commercial developers contain chelating agents to keep calcium and magnesium water hardness from clouding up solutions and/or precipitating on your film or prints. If you don't see any of this, don't worry.firecracker said:I'm assuming if the water is provided as drinkable water whether it's straight out of your tap or not, it's okay for photographic materials for the most part.
Maybe not. :confused:
Hard water is supposed to be better for your health, the incidence of heart attacks being lower where water has calcium-magnesium hardness. My well water should keep me alive another 100 years if that is true. A traveling salesman once tried to sell me a water softener. He said my well was "Very polluted" with Ca and Mg. I went and got my bottle of Ca & Mg supplements and said "You mean if I drink enough of my water I wont have to take these?"
