Photo Vlog 8: Jobo CPP-3 Installation & Testing

This is a followup to my previous unboxing video, where I take the Jobo CPP-3 processor out to my darkroom and get it ready for use. The biggest catch I discovered in the process is that American users will need an adapter (link below) to securely connect a water hose without leaking. It would have been nice if this was clearly stated in the product information, or even included with the machine. (They did include a US electrical plug at least.) A few more updates, thanks to CatLabs: - The T-connector on the overflow is actually supposed to be connected at the bottom, with the top left open as a breather. Otherwise, the water level inside the Jobo may rise too high. (So ignore the kludge you see me doing at the start of the video.) - The transfer gears should be lubricated regularly, using the included grease. For more information on the Jobo CPP-3: 3/4" BSPP (Female) to NPT (Male) adapters: Washing machine hoses: Drain/overflow tube is clear vinyl tubing with a 3/4" inside diameter: (The store sells it by the foot. No idea what length the online price is for.) Rubber hose washers: (I stuck 3 of these inside the female end of the pipe adapter from McMaster-Carr, because it was rather deep and I wanted a snug fit.) Hose clamps: (Link included for reference as to what these are. Obviously anything similar should work fine.) -- Twitter: Instagram: SmugMug: Flickr: -- Happy Haunts by Aaron Kenny (YouTube Music Library) Music provided by Argofox: Road Lizard...
