Every time I have had a lab develop silver film it has been a mistake (OK, I don't have HCB's assistants handy). C41 and E6, yes, b&w, no. I had problems with water quality also. But, we were lucky to have a plant here bottling "mineral" water (Ozarka brand). They brought water up from their well, distilled it, and then added always the same amount of minerals. I used that for developing, filtered tap water for the rest and distilled with Photo Flo for final.
