As usual, I seem always to be a year or so behind the question that you ask RE: leaching of copper from your water distribution system. Rather than try to give you the specific reasons for this problem, I envite you to check out web site http://www.copperknight.com. The water softener that you speak of is not the culprit, it adds a small ammount of Sodium to the water in the course of the ion exchange process that provdes you with softened water. The problem that you are experiencing is a very common one, and seems to becoming more and more wide spread.
