Hi Gregory,
Thank you for your suggestion. My problem with just cooling the chemicals
is that I need all the water - rinse, wash, etc. - to be the same
temperature.
At one time I was actually filling the bath tub with water, then adjusting
the temperature using ice. Then I was dumping the used water and chemicals
in tubs to dispose of it. I had to worry about any residue on the tub
contaminating the film and chemicals, though. Plus, it was hard on the
back{:->

Why don't you just cool down the water. Here in Canada (yes it gets warm
here) I often have to put the developer bottle in an ice water bath before
using it.

Oh and I was watching the very tail end of a documentary of Bob Dylan last
night and whose name should scroll by in the long list of still
photographers in the credit but everyone's favorite Pass The Camera hero
Jan Faul.
