I've not had these problems with mine. I run it to where bubbles rise. My Residual Hypo Test solution indicate the prints are clear in about 1/2 hour washing.
But my print washer from them does not work as intended. I know others who have one and say theirs are fine. Go figure!
FYI, I once asked the maker about how to set the flow rate and he said it will sing when it is right.
When you get the flow rate correct, the siphon tube will draw air in through the little hole at the top of the tube, just before it exits the washer. When it's right, the bubbles do indeed, "sing" ...![]()
Perhaps an instructional video is in order...
The drought is so bad here that I'm thinking about using the drain water for watering my plants. I don't want to use RC paper to save water because I just don't like the look.
Re-cycling wash water is a good idea even without a drought. All of mine goes on plants.
no offense but the versalab is your basic tub o wash baloney.
I've never used archival washer before and that's why I don't print FB because I don't have the time or energy to keep refilling trays and I like Versalab washer considering the positive reviews I see here, I've a question though, any consideration when you wash 11x14 print in 16x20 washer? I want to invest in one washer only and although I don't print 16x20 now but I know that I'll later.
Thanks
Amellice,
One thing to consider: The 11x14 Versalab is an exact fit for my kitchen sink where the filter for the faucet easily unscrews and the Versalab water connector threads in. When finished, the washer drains in the sink and I only have to lift the empty washer out. It it were the 16x20 I'd have to put it in the bathtub and remove the shower head with a wrench. I have a 20x24 Gravity Works washer to handle 16x20 and 20x24 size prints.
The Versalab is a great washer.
