One thing I saw in most of the pics that I have just gotten used to
doing without is an inline themometer. The ability to be able to
adjust the temp, and turn off the flow without having to adjust the
hot cold valves as well as sprayers to make sure it reaches to all
edges of the sink.
If you look above the right end of my sink:
http://www.visualimpressions.com/DarkroomSink.jpg
there is a black box with plumbing going into the bottom, two small
blue squares on the face - it is a Hass Intellifaucet D250
http://www.hassmfg.com/cgi/search.pl/1166132401-15252?keyword=1092&submit=Search
and it controls most of the plumbing in my sink as well as into the
JOBO processor on the left of the picture. The Hass controller is the
single best buy for my darkroom. Just set the dial to the temp that
you want and that's it. Turn faucets on and off anytime without
having to touch the controller.
The two filters in the corner of the sink - the dark one is a
de-ionizer (will deionize 100 gallons) which I use for all film
developers, Ciba chemistry, and final rinses. The light filter is a
final filter for plumbing coming out of the Hass controller. I have,
under the sink, hot and cold pre-filters for water going into the
Hass temp controller.
This sink and set-up has provided me with a couple of decades of a
trouble free, no sweat, darkroom. No sweat because, not only the temp
controller, but the long white thing on the wall, above the
timer/beaker shelf, near the ceiling, is an air conditioner. A split
version with the compressor outside and the heat exchanger here on
the inside. It is great during the summer and anytime when running
hot color processes in the JOBO.
