stop bath?: water vs. stuff-you-pay-for

Hi everyone,

In my photo class (which I just started)- man is it fun!!- we're using water washes between the DEV and FIX steps. I guess this would be where you'd put Stop Bath, right? How does water work as a stop bath, and why would you use the commercial (kodak, etc.) stop baths. There's gotta be a reason....

Thanks for your help/input! Justin
