Does anyone know if it would be OK to use 55 gallon barrels that once had orthophosphate in AP?

Orthophosphate is added to drinking water in a lot of places, but I don't know about using it in a recirculating system.

I'm not sure, since my first post I've found the datasheet for it: http://www.caruscorporation.com/resourc ... emical.doc

As far as I can tell it doesn't mention iron or zinc. It does say it's up to 99% "Other non-hazardous ingredients" though lol.
