Stop using your Paterson force film washer and stay out of jail!

From Thames Water's website:

Section 76 Water Industry Act 1991

Thames Water Utilities Limited gives notice to all of its customers, that the potable* water it supplies throughout its entire area must not be used for the following purposes:

1. watering a ‘garden’ using a hosepipe;
...
6. drawing water, using a hosepipe, for domestic recreational use;
...

It's the Ilford method for me this summer.

Kielder Water ftw!

It's less than 300ml per film. Get out of the shower one minute earlier, i'm sure nobody will notice

Sod 'em, it's about time the water companies stopped creaming profits and invested seriously in the infrastructure, maybe plug a few of the leaks. Instead of threatening customers everytime it hasn't rained for a couple of months.

I think that running a tap for a 10 minute rinse (which is what a pressure wash system amounts to) will use considerably more than 300ml. fwiw, as I'm on metered water supply anyway, i've used the ilford method for the last few years without any problems, so its not a problem when Yorkshire Water decide they've also wasted all their water in leaky pipes...

In case anyone is unfamiliar with it:

the Ilford method is here:

at the bottom right of page 10.

I use it not only to save water, but also to save time - makes the whole process far quicker.

Ilford publishes some great technical documents. The time/temperature compensation chart is one I use often: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2006210208211880.pdf

Very useful.

Ooh I'm pleased I've always preffered the Ilford method!
