How do you know? What exactly do you think you are washing away? Many people have a mistaken impression of how significant those removable nutrients are.
Even more so than phosphate, all foods contain massive amounts of nitrogen that cannot be washed away. Washing out 1% of the N or P is probably not changing anything significant to the overall addition of N and P to the tank.
