Rinse water for CPE-2

I think something got lost along the way.

In my case, my wife and I after a good day of shooting frequently bring
home over 20 rolls, 35mm and 120. So, I need to process as many rolls
as possible. That's why I was interested in rinse water for 600ml of
chemicals. This makes 2.4L of 38C +/-1 water for the first rinse.

At any rate, over the weekend I tried Frank's method of storing hot
bottles in a cooler, and it worked very well. The other option I am
toying with is to get a CPA-2 and use my CPE-2 as tempering bath.

Thanks,
alex

A CPE 2 is more than a tempering bath. It's a main
processor.

As far as rinse water, I use the same volume
as the chemistry, minimum.

What matters is the _minimum_ solution that will do
the job. Excess rinse water solution (within reason)
won't make that mush difference.

Interesting. So, you are using 200ml in a 2521 tank loaded with two
35mm rolls. Were those 24 or 36 shots rolls?

The current Kodak E6 Single Use manual recommends 140 ml per 35mm (36
shots) or 120 roll. I know some use 125 ml per roll (Kodak E6). You
seem to have good results with 100ml per roll with Tetenal E6. Do you
increase first developer time much, and what slide film(s) do you use?
