I get no water spots if I use purified water (the output from our 
dehumidifiers) and wetting agent (possibly the same as PhotoFlo) 
specifically for washing negs.  I would not use washing-up detergent 
since ours (Fairy Liquid) has additives which might leave a residue.

I have been using Rodinal lately (1+25 though) and I wonder if it gives 
you a little more grain.  I am about to develop a couple of rolls of 
FP4, so I shall tell you how it goes.
