What is in your water that stains sink blue-green?

Copper. Copper is a metal that is found in many water supplies. When copper comes into contact with oxygen, it oxidizes and turns a blue-green color. This is why you may see blue-green stains in your sink or on your shower head.

Copper is not harmful to your health, but it can be unsightly. If you are concerned about the copper in your water, you can have it tested by a water quality testing laboratory. You can also use a water filter to remove copper from your water.
