As you can see there is a trace of Phos in the tap water,But much more significant in the mix. http://mrsalty.homestead.com/Phosphate.html I tried to put this as an immage but it didn't work.You'll have to click on the link.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one that came up with these results.
Comparing your tab, I got about .50 which is just enough to feed a healthy growth of algae. With the mix, you are between 1.0 and 2.0--too much phosphate.
I'll be using a different salt mix.
Thanks, Salty for doing the test.
