Since the Jobo seems to process film very evenly , it would follow to
assume that it would also wash film efficiently, more so than a stream of
running water. It is the complete changes of washes that is the most
efficient. I would suggest that you set your wash time to include seven
changes of water and feel safe. I do however remove the film from the
reel or tank and give it a final dip in a wetting agent mixed with
distilled water, as my water here in Taos comes from a well and has a
very high mineral content.
