Does Filter Cleaner cause Algae?

When I was out buying chemicals for the pool for a year (I wanted to buy everything in one shot, or close to it), I grabbed a bottle of filter cleaner since we'd been having some filter problems.

However, when I looked at the bottle, the cleaner apparently has phosphates in it. I'm fairly certain phosphates are a major source of food to algae. Anyone ever look at how using one of these cleaners is potentially feeding algae in your pool?
