Well, I bought
a Tetra Phosphate test kit and the blue is so dark it's off the scale.


Get a few gallons of distilled water. You can make it yourself. Test
the Phosphate. Add a dose of you suspected product and test again.
Compare the two numbers. This will tell you if you are putting PO4 in
via one of your additives.

I suspect your tap water.
