I've switched to ATL1000 processor and I'm using it as per specification connected to hot water source with precise thermostatic mixing valve so that temperature of water is 38°C. But as I'm having some works done in my bathroom and i need to develop film during the works time I'm concerned about wash temperatures. I've made the custom program and reprogrammed the processor so I could use C41RA chemistry, so it goes like this:
1. Developer 03:15
2. 2% Acetic acid stop 00:30
3. Water Rinse 02:00
4. Rinse from the bottle to wash drain system 00:30
5. Bleach 02:00
6. Water Rinse 03:00
7. Rinse from the bottle to wash drain system 00:30
8. Fix 02:00
9. Water Rinse 04:00
If i connect processor directly to tap water where temperature is around 22°C, temperature variations will be high. For an example step 2 is 38°C, step 3 is 22°C, step 4 is again 38°C... Can I damage the film (reticulation, emulsion cracks...)?
