-13- An apparatus for discharging effluent from a photographic process, such as developing liquid to a drain. The effluent can be, for example, de- silvered, spent fixer liquid, and spent developer liquid, which if mixed together, particularly in the presence of oxygen, form a solid iron oxide precipitate which becomes a sludge and eventually clogs pipes and drains. The apparatus includes two separate reservoirs for holding the liquids and two separate pumps for pumping the liquids to a drain, while minimizing the risk of clogging in the pipes and drain from precipitate formation.
