Manhattan water is some of the purest municipal supplied water in the US. The deposits are not likely from that, so must be from the additives.

If your irrigation solution is particularly heavily loaded with dissolved or suspended solids, they are the source of the deposits if you wet the leaves.

If you don't wet the leaves at all, it cannot possibly be fertilizer deposits, so I'd look elsewhere for the source.
