I have a Cascade washer and I love it -- this is similar to what Tim
has -- the downstream aspect is very useful. On the other hand I use a
Kodak siphon for prints larger than 11x14 and it also works well, but
need a flow adequate to keep the water flowing in and flowing out
periodically. It will allow overfill if the flow is low enough.
