Jobo Cascade film washer...would like to DIY one...

[CropDusterMan]

Hey all,

Many years ago, I had one of these little devils, and it was great...works with Jobo inversion tanks and reduces wash times
due to aeration during water flow. I see they are ridiculously expensive on Ebay...I can't remember the item really, but I'm
thinking a DIY should be easy enough...does anyone use them? Here in California, looking to save H2O...isn't this basically a
venturi-effect? Has anyone used them with PMK...generally, I have achieved the desire stain by 20+ mins of normal wash...
kinda curious if such results are achievable with the reduced wash times JOBO claim...I am doubtful, as I've learned nothing
in life comes for free.

If you want to save water use the Ilford method, or do what I do because I am lazy and just soak the film in a few fresh changes of water. Getting film "clean" is a piece of cake.

Should be fairly easy to copy but you will need one to copy the measurements from. I'd feed it with 3/8" ID hose.
