Corroding copper pipes?
-
Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 30, 2014Not copper pipe issue at all. Our tub and shower has had the same thing, but in our case it was more of a yellow color. We changed soap and shampoo and the color changed as well. Keeping the shower curtain closed and drying off the walls and tub surfaces after use will extend the time between cleanings.Helpful Reply

Karen Cottle on Jun 30, 2014I think that it is just plain soap scum. Copper pipes, I don't believe have any thing to do with it. A water softner will only help if your water is" hard" --Hard water has calcium and rust and a whole lot of other things in it. You get a reddish brown stain from that, and that doesn't scrub off easy.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 30, 2014You have changed your description of what is going on. If you have a circle around a drip then that can be a variety of different things. It can be the faucet metal reacting to the acidity of your water. Copper stains can be a greenish blue hue, but will not be on everything on shower curtain etc. I would suggest if you have a concern with your water is to have it tested. Most townships will do this for free. In any case a softener will not remove this problem if indeed it is caused by the water. You would need a special water filtering device.Helpful Reply

Paula Fuller on Jun 30, 2014thank you so much for your advice. It's in the standing shower that has the drip spot and in another tub shower is the soap scum staining. I think I will see if I can get the water tested before calling a plumber.Helpful Reply
