[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Isn't the implication of using phosphate free not
rusting the aluminum, but the mixing of the 2 causes a
chemical reaction in which they both start doing funky

Well, that's at least what little grasp I have on the
concept...someone chime in here who knows what they're
talking about.
