After 40 months of living on the road, we have purchased a home in New Mexico. Over the past 1,200 days I have shot almost 300 rolls of film (tens of thousands of digital images). I'm in the process of putting my darkroom back together and hope to start processing film by the end of the year.
My question is: Does hard water (high in calcium) affect darkroom chemistry? I have always filtered the water coming into my darkroom (for particulates) But, should I be trying to filter the water for calcium? We had the water tested and it came back with no issues, just doesn't taste very good. We filter the kitchen water for cooking and drinking.
