Then you should be an expert in the subject response shouldn't you ?
No I cannot take all the credit. We are all experts or none of us are, based on what I have read in all the previous threads including statements by such makers as Ilford and Jobo
Try a search as brbo suggested both here and other sites and see if you agree or disagree
Are you a risk taker at any level or a 100% play it safe person? The "play it safe" course is to presume that Jobo knows more what works with their machine than anybody else, so go with what it says. If, on the other hand, you are of the "man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo" inclination then try it both ways The worse that can happen is that the film will be adversely affected to a lesser or greater extent
If it is not affected by the no pre-wash option then you can save tíme, money and water for all time to come. Of course the cautious person might still think that "one swallow doesn't make a Summer" and there is no guarantee that no pre-wash will not result in a problem down the line. A "no probem" outcome was sheer luck
So where do I stand in this dilemma? Well as someone definitely on the cautious side and given the small savings in water, time and electricity, Í'd do what Jobo says
So is what I'd do of any relevance to you? Well frankly NO. I am not you
That sort of takes us back to the beginning. It's "where we came in" as they used to say in the days you could watch a film several times in a cinema on the same day
Good luck
